Muffins my Family Loves

I am a huge fan of the Gooseberry Patch cookbooks. Over the years I have purchased many of them for my collection. Needless to say I was thrilled when they used one of my recipes in their most recent cookbook. The new cookbook is Mom Knows Best, this can be ordered on the website gooseberrypatch.com. Last night I made these for the family and added fresh blueberries. I must say adding the blueberries made them even better. Below is the recipe that is in the cookbook but, feel free to add a cup of berries that your family likes.
