These blueberry muffins are topped with cinnamon sugar, or sprinkle the muffins with decorating sugar or vanilla sugar if you have it. Fresh blueberries are wonderful, but you may use frozen in this recipe.
If you do use frozen blueberries, rinse them with cold water until the water is pale in color. Let the berries dry on paper towels until you're ready to fold them into the batter. To avoid a blue batter, fold them in quickly with as few strokes as possible.
