    Blueberry and Cranberry Muffins

    These beautiful blueberry and cranberry muffins are just the perfect way to celebrate Mother's day all-year-round.

    Gorgeous yet simple, delicious and tender, there's everything to love about these Blueberry and Cranberry Muffins. They make such a lovely homemade treat to celebrate Mother's day.

    Blueberry Cranberry muffins - Mother's day easy recipe idea - by www.thepetitecook.comThis is an absolutely fool-proof basic muffin recipe. You only need to mix the dry ingredients  in one bowl, wet ingredients in another. Mix the two together and the job is done.

    The batter is super easy and made with simple ingredients, plus you can have fun create different combinations. Try swapping blueberries for raspberries and strawberries for some more Summer flavors.

    If fresh blueberries aren't available, you can use frozen, the flavors won't be compromised and they're available all-year-round. I've used low-fat organic Greek yogurt, but you can easily substitute with the same amount of buttermilk (which makes supermoist muffins), milk or soy milk. All alternatives will deliver yummy and mouthwatering muffins.Blueberry muffins - Mother's day easy recipe idea - by www.thepetitecook.com
