Easy Blueberry Muffins

These Blueberry Muffins are soft, moist and bursting with blueberry flavors. Not only fresh blueberries were added but also topped with berry mixture. I said fresh because based on my experience, using frozen blueberries does not really give an appetizing blueberry muffins. What do I mean? I notice that the frozen ones end up releasing this blue-purple color to the muffins and I just don't find it appealing. It stains the cake batter and everything is just blue. So use fresh ones if you can find them. 
Also, you are probably wondering what's berry mixture? It's actually a combination of blueberries and sugar cooked until blueberries are soft and sauce has thickened a  bit. Similar to blueberry jam but on a lighter side.

These Blueberry Muffins are super easy to prepare and very delicious. ​​Give it a try and let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. Enjoy!
