This recipe is a hybrid of several different blueberry muffin recipes I found online. Many of the recipes I looked at had more sugar; this recipe allows the blueberries to retain a little more of their raw flavor and tang (which I like). Buttermilk could probably be substituted for the yogurt. The…
