Do any of you watch The Voice? Im ADDICTED. Its the only show we watch every Monday & Tuesday night with commercials..(thank goodness for DVR otherwise!) I have never missed an episode because I hate to find out what happened via Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo…any other Social Media outlet that publisizes it the minute it happens..so since I worked last night ( & missed it for the first time!) I have been avoiding social media like the plague. Who knows for how long, because I have no idea when Ill even get a chance to watch it in the next 40 or so hours! Must.Make.Time. Thanks for listening! 😉
Anywayys..on to the good stuff..aka the most heavenly, moist, yummy blueberry cupcakes I have ever made! To be honest, I wasn’t really sure how these were going to turn out, but oh my goodness what a happy surprise I had when these babies came out of the oven!
Use fresh blueberries..Im telling you, it makes all teh difference..I had ginormous blueberries, and wowsers. They exploded in the muffins and were so sweet and perfect alongside the cinnamon induced cakey muffin! They stayed moist in an airtight container and were just as good the next day..and the next.
The fact that these babies were only 143 calories each, when they tasted like the 600 calorie bomb ones from the bakery…blows.my.mind. I thought I was going to miss the wondeful crunchy buttery-sugary crumble on top..but I didnt..these little blueberry muffins were perfect as is, without an ounce of butter in them! Oh yes! Perfect!
