No-Fail Blueberry Muffins

This is my favorite blueberry muffin recipe and I have never had it not turn out wonderful!

The tiny pinch of nutmeg gives it a subtle flavor that leaves me wanting to eat another and another until before I know it half the batch is gone…ooops.

I created this recipe by slightly adapting a recipe I found on The Pioneer Woman’s blog.  I use vanilla yogurt and sour cream and add a little orange or lemon zest. I also use frozen blueberries (thawed) and cut them down by half, I like more muffin then blueberry.

This recipe is so simple and I love that it makes almost 2 dozen muffins. That way, when I eat half the batch myself there is still enough for everyone else in the family to have a couple too.

The orange or lemon zest is totally optional, but it pairs up so nicely with the pinch of nutmeg that I highly recommend adding it. Also If you want you can use a full cup of yogurt, I just like to do half yogurt half sour cream. Greek yogurt or regular both work well in this recipe.
