We were greeted by a grey and hot summer day on Sunday, I had been working in the garden all morning pulling out weeds (hate doing it, but the little pests keep growing back) and all I felt like was some much needed rest and some comfort food with our afternoon tea. I certainly didn’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen so I just wanted something that required minimal effort. This blueberry muffins recipe is quick, easy and delicious. A family favorite, for sure.
