With whole-wheat being the main ingredient in this muffin recipe, they turned out a lot better than I thought they would be. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe making it really nice if you have left over blueberries in the freezer from the summer. Serve them hot, with butter, and they are really good.
