July 11: Snack on a Muffin this National Blueberry Muffin Day!
There is a lot of controversy around the origins of the humble blueberry muffins, and there are many different theories about how this muffin came about. However, one convincing theory states that when Europeans settled in America, they couldn't find any of the bilberries that they had used when baking in their home countries. As a result, they used blueberries, which grew in vast quantities, instead, and the blueberry muffin was born.
Today, the blueberry muffin is the official state muffin of Minnesota, thanks to legislation passed in 1988. However, it is popular on a global scale, and is a favorite in international coffee shops and cafes.
Did you know that the blueberry muffin is the most popular muffin in America? Or how about the fact that blueberries are a superfood? Blueberry muffins have long been a homely and welcoming dessert, and parents are always on the lookout for the best blueberry muffin mix and are the subject of lots of great food photography.
