So, I’m obsessed with everything brunch. I do it big, HUGE, every single weekend, especially on Sundays! Whether it’s just me, hubby and me or a crowd, we always do #BrunchItOnSundays around here!
This is one of my favorite muffins to make, and the blueberry sauce is literally the icing on the cake! Healthy though, and totally worth your time and feeding your family! Everyone will enjoy it, and if you’re feeling naughty, get some cream on top! If feeling nice, make coconut whipped cream! Great success! Enjoy!
