"This was originally a Taste Of Home recipe that I found on Bunny's Warm Oven Blog. She adapted it a little and I made it her way using lemon and milk. These muffins are extremely delicious, light, moist and the lemon glaze gives them a little bit of sweet, while the blueberry taste shines through. There's also the crunch from the pecans, which I love. I cut the recipe in half and then froze the leftover muffins for later. I don't think you will be disappointed if you try these. You just might be instantly hooked just like I was!"

Wonderful muffins. We skipped the glaze but just made the muffins. We were able to make 30 muffins with this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

I shared things in common w/other reviewers when I made this recipe essentially as written. I used frozen blueberries dusted w/flour plus was drawn to the use of cream cheese & enjoyed the batter "silkiness" - But I also had differences. My batter was stiff (vs loose) & I didn't use a glaze as my DH loves blueberry muffins, but prefers them plain. My yield was likely spot-on as I opted to make 12 std-size & 8 jumbo-sized muffins using a conversion method I found on-line (See pic). All that said, they were great & I'm glad I resisted my early temptation to halve the recipe. Thx for sharing this lovely recipe w/us. :-)

I froze blueberries from this summer and used them to make these. I just dusted them with flour before adding to the batter. These are so delicious and we love them! I used larger muffin tins so they made fewer but they were bigger and I just baked them until a toothpick came out clean when I dipped it in the middle!

These were a hit at a baby shower I made these for. Easy to put together and they turned out perfectly delicious.
