    TIPS: Do your blueberries sink to the bottom of your muffins sometimes? That happens to me too. Or it used to, until I stared mixing them with a tablespoon of the dry flour mixture before stirring them into the batter; the coated berries stay suspended in the batter better than they do without the floury coating. Frozen berries seem to sink more, but as long as they’re coated they do stand a chance. Not enough sour cream? You can do half sour cream and half plain yogurt. I use low fat sour cream, FYI, so these don’t have to be sinful muffins. Don’t use canola oil. I’m just saying. I did, which is really nice because canola oil is healthy, but the muffins smell… healthy. Veggie oil is yummier, I have to admit. Enjoy!
