Did you know today is National Blueberry Muffin Day? Don’t worry I didn’t either until a couple of weeks ago. I’m just excited for once that I knew ahead of time (I was deeply saddened I missed sugar cookie day) I tend to always find out the NEXT day. Now when I think muffin I think of my Snickerdoodle Muffin, but before I concocted that muffin years ago if someone said the word muffin to me I immediately thought Blueberry.
Krusteaz contacted me and asked if I wanted to give away a box of their Wild Blueberry Muffin mix along with some coupons for their products to one of my readers in honor of National Blueberry Muffin Day. I love and use their cornbread mix all the time but had never tried the blueberry so I thought sure what the heck. And even better you get a chance to try as well.
I was told to do whatever I wanted with the mix (no compensation was given to me except muffin mix and some coupons). I decided to stay with muffin but of course put a little spin on it. I replaced some of the water in the mix with fresh lemon juice. I added some white chocolate chips. I added streusel topping to it because I have a thing for streusel topping. I must say it all came together beautifully. I really love lemon and white chocolate with blueberry. Have no idea why but I do. And if you make these I have a feeling you will to. The bonus is when you eat one you in no way will think gee these came from a box!
So if you would like to have Krusteaz send you a box of your own as well as some coupons just leave a comment telling me what your favorite muffin is? You must live in the USA. You only get one entry. Winner is picked randomly using a number generator. You have until Tuesday, July 15th 2014, 5pm (PST) to leave a comment that counts as an entry.

oh my I need to pick 1 kind of muffin. I guess any kind of banana muffins top the list. plain, with nuts, with chocolate chips or banana peanutbutter chocolate chip so yummy. I also love blueberry, pumpkin, apple corn, snicker doodle, lemon and orange. I am sure there are more I have 20 or more recipes at home. they make an easy portable breakfast that even my husband likes.

I make a lot of banana nut muffins here (gotta use up all those bananas) and will often add mini chocolate chips to them. I also love lemon poundcake muffins. Yum. And I have a recipe for a mixed berry cheesecake muffin as well. In the fall, I tend to make pumpkin muffins and will throw in either chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. My son loves blueberry muffins, so I will try these later this week for him.
Gwyn says
