Maine Event: Maine Wild Blueberry Muffins Recipe

 When it comes to Maine Blueberries, technically Pie takes the cake--Wild Blueberry Pie is the official state dessert. 

But the fact is, when you go to gift shops, you'll find postcards touting this recipe for Wild Blueberry Muffins, so I vote that they are worth your time, too.

I just finished making the Wild Blueberry Muffin Recipe and it is AMAZING!! I only change one thing and that is that I used butter (grass-fed cow butter) instead of oil. The muffins came out truly amazing. I used frozen wild Maine blueberries and I didn't de-thaw them before I added them to the batter. Doing this makes the batter a little bit stiffer but the blueberries end up very evenly distributed through the batter. Anyway, this will now be my go to recipe for blueberry muffins. Thank you!
