Treat Thursday- Fresh Blueberry muffins

Blueberries are in season and the pun nets are being sold cheap! Our neighbour had several pun nets left over from catering for a wedding and generously gave us 5!! Woohoo antioxidants galore!! Not only have we been eating them by the handful as a snack and with yogurt for breakfast, I thought I'd do some baking! 4 dozen muffins later- everyone gets a treat!
