Tips When Baking These Glorious Muffins:

• To keep your muffins evenly distributed throughout, toss them in flour (about 1 TB). This acts as a glue, preventing them from sinking to the bottom while baking in the oven.

• Use frozen blueberries. They will hold their shape better and there will be less of a chance of them bursting and releasing too much of its juices into the batter.

• Gently fold in the blueberries and don't over mix them. This can cause them to bleed into the batter. Gently fold them in just until they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter. This will prevent them from making the batter too watery.

• To avoid having your muffins become flat, make sure the batter is thick but not too stiff. It should not pour like cake batter. To accomplish this, remember this: less is more. The less you mix your batter, the better it is for the texture of the muffins.

• Make sure your muffins are baking at the right temperature. The temperature does affect the end result of the muffins.

• To check if the muffins are done baking, insert a toothpick. It should come out clean indicating that they are in fact done. If you don't want to use a toothpick you could also lightly press on the muffin tops. If they quickly spring up without leaving an indentation then they are most likely done.
