Almost all blueberry muffins are tasty, but these are extra delicious. They have a few things that set them apart from your average blueberry muffin. First, the recipe uses butter instead of oil like most muffins, and I always think butter is better. Then they are very slightly lemon flavored. You know, just a touch, not enough to be a lemon muffin, but enough to compliment the blueberries perfectly. And, lastly, they are sprinkled with sugar just before baking, giving them nice crunchy, sweet, tops. Hope you enjoy!
