Notes
It is easier to make the dough using the electric mixer with a paddle attachment following the same instructions. Once the dough is ready, I fold in the blueberries using a spatula. It is sometimes unavoidable keeping the blueberries from getting mashed, so I suggest to be very careful when folding the blueberries with the dough.
Cooking times may vary depending on the oven you are using, so it is best to test the muffins before taking it out of the oven.
The muffins can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let it cool completely and then place in a freezer-friendly container.
