Blueberry Cardamom Muffins

Everybody has a blueberry muffin recipe. Blueberries with lemon glaze, orange zest, cinnamon, white chocolate, nutmeg, nuts, anything seems to go. When I created these muffins I was looking for a quick way to use up my BC blueberries. Using the muffin method recipe we were taught in high school (ha ha ha, it’s true), I decided to try adding in coconut & cardamom to see what kind of flavour we could achieve.

Using cardamom was something I had heard used in pancakes from an old colleague. It appeared to be a spice gaining popularly so trying it in muffins seemed legit. It was an unusually cool Fall day in August, which made it feel right to whip up a batch of muffins and smell up the house.

This recipe makes approximately 16 large muffins.
