Bought a new silicon Muffin tray with flower shape. I wanted to try my hands on muffins and with berries in the season I immediately set my mind on blueberries. I started looking out for a recipe on the net and trust me there are thousands of them. This is a mixture of 2-3 recipes I read; I have modified it my way because some had Flax Seeds, some had eggs etc. ; I didn't have flax seeds available at home and I was not ready to use eggs as the "Ganesh Festival" is still on. They are great for breakfast, part of a lunch or as a snack. A perfect on-the-go treat. Just read further for the simple yet delicious recipe:-
