Liked the blueberry recipe from Deb Perelman (from Smitten Kitchen) since it is not quite as sweet and had lots of blueberry flavor. Making 9 is great since 12 is usually too many. The sugar on top is nice using a raw sugar like demerra or turbinado. The recipe is quick with just one bowl. It is possible to prepare the muffins in the time it takes to preheat the oven.
