PINEAPPLE MUFFINS – BLUEBERRIES

Pineapple muffins are delicious with your breakfast coffee.  Slather them with butter and eat hot from the oven for a morning treat your family will love.  The almonds on top and the blueberries just make these wonderful muffins.  These muffins freeze well and will keep for several days in a cool place or refrigerated.  They can be reheated or just eat them cold for a snack.  Children will love these muffins with a glass of milk.  You might also like to check out our recipe for blueberry crisp.
