Lately, I used to be suffering from a mad longing for muffins. Mike and I have been on a stroll and I had a muffin emergency. We hopped right into a random bakery and I couldn’t resolve which muffin so I requested Mike what his go-to muffin selection was. He very decisively mentioned, “blueberry.” I requested why and it seems that Mike used to solely bake blueberry muffins when he went via a blueberry muffin section. He virtually knew a muffin recipe by coronary heart (this one) and it turned out to be so good I needed to share.

It seems, Jordan Marsh’s blueberry muffins are well-known. Very well-known, the truth is. Jordan Marsh was a elaborate New England division retailer with a flagship retailer in downtown Boston. That flagship retailer had a bakery on the highest flooring that was well-known for blueberry muffins. They have been gigantic, addictive, and worthy of constructing pilgrimages for.
