Fresh Blueberry Muffin - Worth to try

I got this recipe from http://aziejaya.blogspot.com .  I had all the ingredients including fresh blueberries, very quick and required very few ingredients.

Azie's recipe yield about 9 normal size muffin.  I thought I will use smaller ones.  I got about 24 pieces of small ones and 2 normal size muffin.

I guess you can also try with any other fruits like raspberries, blackberries or even mango, peaches etc.  I should try with mango in future.

Lets look at the recipe.
