These nut-topped blueberry muffins go well with brunch or tea. They are not overly sweet, which enhances the fruit flavor in this muffin. Before baking, sprinkle sugar on top of muffins for a sweeter top.

Reviews
Very good idea, My version, I used extra virgin olive oil, I made them with 1/2 to 2/3 of a cup of sugar, I squeezed a thick slice of lemon over the batter, I did not put nuts in it, They have a good thick/moist and light taste, I can tell the 1/2 ish cup of sugar upped the deal, it would have been a bit fad, but to know that, I suggest to taste de batter before cooking it, if you like the taste, then they should be good.
I did not like these. They were just ok. I’m going to stick to my B.C. recipe that calls for 1/2 cup sugar
Very good! I usually do not like blueberries, but in a muffin they are delish! The sweetness is not overly sweet and also doesn’t overpower the flavor of the blueberries! With that being said if you have a sweet tooth you could easily make a glaze or a strusel to top it with.
This was delicious! I swapped butter for oil and they came out great!
In the oven now so I can’t attest to the taste yet (except raw…don’t judge me!!!), but I appreciate the fact that this recipe contains less sugar than most.
Not enough walnuts for this recipe, next time I will add a cup, but overall muffins came good.
Very good. I made 9 huge muffins. Lift to go shopping and then there was 8. Husband likes them too 🙂
Yum! So, so good, not too sweet. I used vanilla almond milk instead of dairy milk, because that is what I had and I topped the muffins w/course sugar. Delicious!
I subbed the oil for applesauce at a 1:1 ratio to be a bit lower calorie and healthier. These are yummy muffins but a little bit boring.. they are very simple and easy but next time I might experiment with some cinnamon or some brown sugar crumbled on top.
I added some cinnamon (eyeballed), ginger (eyeballed), nutmeg (also eyeballed), 2 more tbsp sugar, used only 1/2 cup regular flour and added 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup oats. I didn’t have any muffin cups on hand, so I baked it in two small loaf pans, adding about 10 min to the baking time. SO GOOD. Holy tastebuds, Batman.
5 stars because it is a very easy recipe to do and remember. Also because it provided exactly 12 very nice muffins. Thank you Valerie Ulloa Nickerson for this recipe! I agree with some some of the reviews. I used 4 TBS of sugar without leveling the measuring spoon, and as directed 4 TSP of baking powder, with leveing the measuring spoon. I used fresh blueberries, probably more than suggested and chopped walnuts, probably less than suggested. I had a lemon and put some lemon peel on the top of each muffin before baking, as well as sifted some brown sugar on the top of each one. I do not like very sweet muffins but I do suggest adding that extra TBS and more if you like it sweet, particularly because the sweetness will counter the bitterness in most blueberries (and lemon peel in my case).
GREAT breakfast muffin! Not too sweet, just as the description claims. It tasted more like a biscuit than a muffin. I took the advice of the submitter and sprinkled sugar on top before baking. I didn’t feel there were enough blueberries in the batter so I added an extra handful. The walnuts really add a nice flavor and texture to it. I am giving this 4 stars because I feel it needed the extra blueberries. Thank you Mrs N for sharing your recipe.
came out so good! i made them with frozen berry medley and added an extra tbs of sugar to berries before folding them in
don’t make it. It tasted weird and the muffins all stuck to their liners. T.T
Would have given it 5 stars, but the other review is right–it definitely needs more sugar. I don’t even like sweet batters, but it tastes a bit bland. Overall though, a very good muffin recipe. I did 1/2 c. of whole wheat flour and 1/2 c. of white flour and added 1/2 c. rolled oats to make it healthier, and it didn’t seem to dry out the batter.
Just made these muffins again but added 1 more tablespoon of sugar to batter which added a hint more sweetness overall. If you like a sweeter tasting muffin than go ahead and add 2 tablespoons. Beware of adding too much sugar, you don’t want batter to compete with natural sweetness of the berry itself.I used frozen berries which worked out well as a sub for fresh grown if not in season.

In response to your questions, first I think this type of muffin would have a more cake like texture and you certainly can & should eat them as a snack or at breakfast in place of toast or whatever type of grain you may eat for breakfast. Hope this helps as they do sound tasty.
