Nantucket Blueberry Muffins

Today we’re going back to the basics, and I’m sharing my first recipe I posted on The Preppy Hostess, Nantucket Blueberry Muffins. They are a light cakey muffin, bursting with fresh blueberries, and a sparkling crumb topping. It’s a twist on the Sconset Market staple, which anyone who’s been to Nantucket knows and loves. Looking for a classic blueberry muffin to add to your Mother’s Day brunch table? As classic as a Lilly Pulitzer shift and a strand of pearls, these Nantucket Blueberry Muffins are sure to please.

Like I said above, these are a Nantucket staple and I’m sure many of you can relate. During the summer months, riding bikes to Sconset was never complete without stopping at the  Sconset Market for a muffin. Studded with extra blueberries, these muffins are filled with fresh blueberry flavor that brings back memories of summer. Mother’s Day brunch wouldn’t be complete without a batch and even those picky eaters, probably won’t be able to resist one. Double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful extra-generously-sized bakery style muffin.
