You don’t have to wait until July 4th to start the day with these tasty red, white and blue muffins. You can also serve them à la mode with frozen yogurt, for dessert and snacks.
In an ideal world, you’d make your favorite muffin batter and add fresh blueberries and raspberries. But using a muffin mix, prep time is just 15 minutes, with another 30 minutes to bake, cool and glaze the muffins.
RECIPE: RED, WHITE & BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
Ingredients For 12 Muffins
1 box Betty Crocker Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons milk
1/8 teaspoon orange or vanilla extract

Preparation
1. HEAT oven to 425°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups, or grease bottoms (only) of muffin cups if not using liners.
2. DRAIN blueberries from the muffin mix; rinse and set aside. In medium bowl, stir muffin mix, milk, oil, eggs and cherries/cranberries just until blended. Gently stir in blueberries.
3. DIVIDE batter among muffin cups; each should be about three-fourths full.
4. BAKE 17 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool 3 to 4 minutes; remove from pan. Stir together powdered sugar, milk and orange extract until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over muffins.
