Recipe: Very Berry Blueberry Muffins

This recipe is a slight variation on my Blueberry Muffin recipe that I posted earlier this year. I love to make muffins and change it up a bit by adding a surprise center to them. In this case…. I make my blueberry muffin batter and fill the muffin tin about a third of the way… then add a generous dollop of blueberry pie filling … then cover the pie filling with more muffin batter.

The result …. a wonderful blueberry muffin chock full of blueberry flavor. It takes a terrific blueberry muffin and makes it even better!

So here’s the blueberry muffin recipe again…. this time with blueberry pie filling .... it’s so easy …. and so delicious!

Enjoy!
