Favorite blueberry muffins

muffin.jpg

I make these muffins almost every weekend. The recipe is an amalgam of several different muffin recipes, so I suppose it’s different enough that I can call it my own. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, though I usually just use frozen for the convenience. And they’re relatively healthy, with whole-wheat flour, canola oil, ground flax seeds, and a little honey as sweetener–of course, the brown sugar topping is the best part :)
