Blueberry Buttermilk Donut Muffins

These simple and old-fashioned Blueberry Buttermilk Donut Muffins are lightly sweet and bursting with fresh blueberries and a touch of nutmeg!

I’m sure we’ve all had a blueberry muffin at least once in our lives, and everyone makes them a little differently. This recipe is very simple, lightly sweet with little bursts of blueberry and the buttermilk base gives it a donut taste and texture.

And I don’t know about you, but it’s not a blueberry muffin if the top isn’t loaded up with coarse sugar! But the best part of all is you can be slathering these babies up with butter in less than 30 minutes!

The first time I made these, they were missing something, they were good, but not quite complete. I took them into the office and my coworkers didn’t complain. Then I realized I’d forgotten my spice. Muffins need to have a little spice don’t you think?

Blueberries have such a beautiful flavor and I wanted something that would accent rather than overpower it. Just a tiny bit of nutmeg did the trick and gave these muffins that cozy tone they were missing.
