National Blueberry Muffin Day!

Today is National Blueberry Muffin Day

The closest you can get to eating a cupcake for breakfast, the blueberry muffin is a healthy-ish way to start the day and much more portable than a bowl of oatmeal. The people of Minnesota like them so much, they made the blueberry muffin their official state muffin. So, in a way, when you treat yourself to one today, you're celebrating the muffin and Minnesota. Kill two birds with one muffin.
