Blueberry Muffins


I was happy to find these muffins at Dinner at the Zoo.  My husband recently had a health scare so I am trying to make healthier and more nutritious meals for him.  I adapted this recipe only slightly, substituting lowfat buttermilk for the 1% milk called for and omitting the optional coarse sugar topping.

Shhhhh.....don't tell him that they are good for him.  He has been complaining that I won't let him eat any of the foods he loves but I heard not one complaint from him about these muffins.
