It all started when I found blueberries on sale at Cozmo last week – seriously fresh berries are expensive in Jordan but totally worth it when on sale.

Using fresh blueberries made all of the difference to me, so if you have a fresh handful at home go ahead, it won’t go to waste.

If you don’t have fresh, you can use frozen. Do not thaw them just add them as is.

  • Line up a muffin tin with baking paper, i prefer silicon molds and spray the top so it doesn't stick when the muffins rise.
