Quick notes
makes 12 muffins; I like to add cinnamon to the basic mix, and when I use blueberries, I also grate in lemon zest. Nutmeg is nice for a more autumnal muffin.
Another great variation is: 1/3 c blueberries + 1/2 c raspberries + 1 mashed banana
Preparation time: 20 minute(s)
Cooking time: 25 minute(s)
