These muffins were great! I subbed a 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour and used 12 oz (2 yoplait) containers of lemon burst yogurt. I also squeezed a half a lemon into the batter because it did look dry and I wanted good lemon flavor. The lemon flavor was a little too mild for me...maybe I'll add the juice of a whole lemon next time. Otherwise, the muffins had the perfect texture and not overly moist from all the blueberry juices. I will be making these again!

Nice muffins but would have liked to have had more of a lemon flavor. I used frozen blueberries that I thawed in the microwave but forgot to rinse before adding them to the batter. My cupcakes had a blue tinge to them and next time will rinse and blot them dry before using. Thank you ev for posting this recipe!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
