Celebrate National Blueberry Month with an Easy Blueberry Muffin Recipe

July is National Blueberry Month, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a batch of warm, homemade blueberry muffins! These tiny blue gems are not only sweet and tangy but also packed with antioxidants, making them a delicious and nutritious treat.

Whether you pick your blueberries fresh from a local farm or buy them from your favorite grocery store, this recipe will bring out the best in every bite. This is a recipe I have been making for my children for many, many years. They love them!!

🫐 Fun Facts About Blueberries

Blueberries are native to North America and have been enjoyed for thousands of years.
They’re one of the few naturally blue foods.
A single blueberry bush can produce as many as 6,000 berries in a year!

Now, let’s get baking! This recipe makes 6 large muffins or 12 cupcake-size muffins.

🍽️ Easy Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:

2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup milk (plus more if needed)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional: 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together baking mix and sugar.
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, combine beaten egg and milk.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Do not overmix. Be sure to break up clumps of Bisquick.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for a sweet crunch.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

💙 Tips & Tricks:

Frozen blueberries can be used straight from the freezer—no need to thaw!
Toss blueberries in a little flour before adding to the batter to prevent sinking.
Add a dash of lemon zest to the batter for a citrusy twist.

Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, a midday snack, or a sweet dessert, these blueberry muffins are sure to bring a smile to your face. So grab a basket of blueberries and celebrate this beautiful berry all month long!

Happy National Blueberry Month! 🫐

Coastal Military Baby Sweater Crochet Pattern

Coast Guard Hero: Bravery Beyond the Shore

When we think of military heroes, we often picture distant battlefields or dramatic air rescues. But many of the bravest souls serve much closer to home, keeping our coasts safe and our waters secure. Among them, Coast Guard heroes stand tall—often unrecognized, but never unremarkable.

Over the July 4th weekend—a time when most Americans were celebrating freedom and fireworks—one U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer was fighting rising waters and saving lives.

As devastating floods swept through parts of Texas, claiming homes and stranding families, one brave servicemember sprang into action. Amid the chaos, this rescue swimmer has now been hailed as a true American hero after saving over 200 people from the deadly flooding.

So today, let’s take a moment to honor these everyday heroes—the silent guardians who protect our shores and save lives, often without headlines or fanfare. Because heroism doesn’t always wear a cape. Sometimes, it wears a life vest and stands at the helm.

To this Coast Guard rescue swimmer and all the brave men and women who serve: thank you. You don’t just protect our coastlines—you inspire a nation.

The Stargazing Headband from The Dancing Yarn

The Stargazer Headband is exquisitely textured by using the Star Stitch and HDC Stitches to complete the beauty of Stars in rows separated by a chain in between. The combination of these stitches creates a very thick, dense and plush fabric. A 2 row repeat, makes this pattern easy to modify to your desired size. It should be noted that this ST is a yarn eater, but worth the beautiful results!
