Big blueberry muffins with a crispy muffin top, who can say no to that.In Israel we celebrate Shavuot this week, it is believed to be the holiday when Moses got the old testimony from God. I am not such a “good Jew” but a holiday is a holiday, and one of the holidays’ traditions is having a big dinner with lots of dairy products and fresh fruits. I decided to combine both cream cheese and blueberries into a perfect muffin, and boy was I right, they came out delicious.It’s really hard and expensive to get fresh blueberries in Israel, so I used frozen ones, and the muffins came out just as good. These are moist and has a fluffy texture, they are perfect for breakfast, and you can enjoy them as a mid-day snack or dessert.
