These are the kind of muffins that feel familiar at first glance, then a little more interesting once you take a bite. Blueberry muffins are a classic for a reason, but adding Appalachian Goddess Gray gives them a soft citrusy lift and a hint of lavender that makes them feel more layered.
The tea works quietly here. It doesn’t overpower the berries, it just enhances them, bringing out their brightness and adding a little depth to the crumb. The result is tender, lightly sweet, and perfect for slow mornings or an afternoon reset.
What makes this special
- Loose leaf tea infused directly into the batter

Tips for best results
- Toss blueberries in a little flour before folding in to prevent sinking

Final note
These muffins are easy to love. They feel classic, but the tea adds just enough personality to make them stand out. It’s the kind of small upgrade that turns something everyday into something you actually look forward to.
