Back when I was in college we would make a “Big Breakfast” every Saturday morning. Blueberry muffins, French toast, eggs, bacon, coffee, juice, milk— we made it all. There was barely any room on the table for our plates.
We would sit around the table for a couple of hours eating, dreaming, and talking about our hopes for the future. Those were the best Saturday mornings.
These blueberry muffins are an ode to those sweet Saturday mornings in college. I hope you make a batch, slow down, and enjoy a sweet time around the table with the ones you love.
