Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins made with wholesome whole wheat, frozen wild blueberries, and honey.

And a spoonful of butter glaze to make the whole thing pretty.

THIS IS REAL LIFE.

We’re not quite at the point yet where good blueberries are showing their little faces in the grocery stores or farmer’s markets here way up in da good ol’ northland of Minnesota. I mean, like, farmer’s market? We just got dumped on with snow. In March.

Even though my first reaction to the Winter That Won’t Stop is a nice little puddle of self-pitying crocodile tears (or a quick exit to California which is where I’m actually posting out for the next few days – hiiii ocean!), the lack of fresh fruit doesn’t have to be sad. Er, well, it doesn’t have to be crying sad. One of my favorite ways to make fruit in the no-fresh-fruit seasons of Minnesota life is with FROZEN fruit.

And of all the varieties of frozen fruit that a person could fold into whole wheat muffin batter and top with butter glaze, blueberries (especially those supertiny organic wild blueberries) are my absolute must-have favorite.

While we’re eating our muffins and sipping our coffee and feeling awesome about life, I wanted to let you know about some news-that-isn’t-really-news.

In some weird turn of events and a major twist of the universe, I’M ON SNAPCHAT.

I, me, Lindsay, Pinch of Yum, am using and loving an app created for weird, usually sketchy teenage activity.

But I love it! It’s so fun. I am totally clueless about it and I might have posted one or two videos of Bjork saying hi in an awkward voice just because IT’S SNAPCHAT and that seems like the right thing to do on Snapchat, but mostly I’m trying to be normal and share things like vacation pictures, behind the blog food stuff, and sunset videos. Is that even a thing? I’m making it a thing.

Mostly though, I’m really excited to go wildly crazy with Snapchat once we get home and become dog parents.

Yes – I just said that! It’s happening! We’re gonna be DOG PARENTS!

The little one that we met last week – the Beagle mix who you all so lovingly pre-accepted into the Pinch of Yum community – she’s coming home to be ours for real when we get back from California. I am so beyond excited, and if you follow me on Snapchat already and you don’t love dogs, dog pictures, dog videos, dog everything, just… be aware that we’re about to get all Dog People on you.
