Recipe: Wildly Blue Blueberry Muffin

The Wild Blue Blueberry Muffins at Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes were a delightful treat on the bakery buffet. At one time they were also known as Wild Maine Blueberry Muffins.

These are best enjoyed slathered in whipped honey butter.

The following is an official Souplantation-provided recipe originally printed by the San Diego Union-Tribune in 2009.

Makes about 2 dozen muffins.
