I’ll begin by acknowledging what we can all plainly see: these muffins aren’t beautiful. They’re sort of a craggy light brown, a little darker on the tops. They’re covered with blueberries which bleed all over the place and create weird craters when you put too many on in one area. I made them two days in a row just to make sure I couldn’t improve their looks with a little more care. I couldn’t. I did find some other pictures of these online that looked moderately more attractive when the baker arranged the blueberries in a sort of pinwheel pattern, but this person’s patience for arranging berries surpassed mine. So I get it, they’re not going to win any beauty contests. But what they lack in Instagram-ability they make up for in taste, ten times over.
