Blueberry Muffins

These muffins are the best thing to make for breakfast. They are bursting with fresh blueberries and are covered with a sweet glaze. The yogurt gives these muffins a light fluffy texture. And instead of putting all the blueberries into the batter, I reserved some and topped each muffin with a couple of blueberries. I just have one problem with these – I cannot stop at one!

Fold in half the blueberries into the batter and mix to homogenize.

Spoon the batter into paper cases that are lined in the muffin pan, filling 2/3 of the hole

Evenly sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top of the muffins.Bake for about 20 minutes or until you insert a toothpick in the center of a muffin and it comes out clean.

In a bowl combine the icing sugar and the milk to make a pourable glaze.Evenly drizzle the glaze on top of the muffins. Enjoy!
