These are really good! I used wild blueberries and I think this is the perfect recipe for them. The muffins are so pretty, creamy and moist!!! I made them in a jumbo muffin pan and had to increase the time only slightly. I also added sugar to the tops of them. I had future plans for them as lunch box snacks.... but this plan was foiled after a few hours :)

These tasted really good! I followed the directions though and the batter was too dry, I added a little more yogurt and a few splashes of milk. The end result was tasty, not too sweet and really good hot out of the oven! The directions are missing a few steps. (the yogurt for instance) but easy to follow if you're paying attention.

Hi everybody,
I’ve been using “Zaar” website for the last year but ready to commit myself to adding my two cents worth (including some photos). I live with my DH and two great kids and one crazy dog in the foothills of Colorado. We have a great view with lots deer and red rocks. I come from a food-loving family, including my nearby sister who is willing to discuss "what's for dinner" first thing in the morning! I’ve loved cooking every since I was a teenager. I don’t work so I have lots of time to cook my latest craving. I love to try and duplicate dishes I enjoy from restaurants. I have a lot of cookbooks, but now use mostly “Zaar” recipes and from “Cooks Illustrated.” I love reading cookbooks (library) and like the old classics from Betty Crocker to backs of food labels. I love to research lots of recipes before I decide which one to make.
