Recipe: Blueberry Muffins

It had been quite a while since I opened Sheila Kiely’s Gimme the Recipe book, but I was on a quest for some goodies to bake recently. I always find lots I want to make when I open the book and I’m always pleasantly surprised all over again how easy and quick the steps are and how I usually have most of the ingredients already in my larder. Today we make these blueberry muffins and changed the recipe to make it dairy free. They were a huge hit.
