Red, White & Blueberry Muffins

Another 4^th of July is fast approaching, so it’s time to plan some all-American treats for your patriotic picnic. Here’s a star-spangled recipe for Red, White, and Blueberry muffins that’ll get your day started with a bang:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup of milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup of sugar
• ½ butter or margarine, melted
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups blueberries
• 1½ cups raspberries

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare muffin pans with non-stick cooking spray, or line with muffin papers.

In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, vanilla, baking powder, and sugar until well blended. Add the melted butter, and mix well. Stir in the flour with a spatula until it is evenly moist. Then gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full of batter, and bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned.

Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. Then let the fireworks begin!
