Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to each cup of all-purpose flour. If you want to experiment, try adding chocolate chips or nuts instead of blueberries. These muffins are a great base for any mix-in!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the mayonnaise in the recipe?
Yes, you can substitute plain yogurt or sour cream for the mayonnaise if you prefer. Both will keep the muffins moist and add a slight tang. Alternatively, you can use applesauce for a healthier option, but this may alter the flavor slightly.
How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
The muffins are done when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent overbaking.
Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Absolutely! These muffins can be made ahead and stored as mentioned. They also freeze well, making them a great make-ahead option. Simply thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature before serving.
