Some of the best recipes are the ones that are versatile, require few ingredients and are easy to make. This fruit muffin recipe, sent in by Gabrielle Byrd of Annapolis, gets points for meeting all three criteria. Gabrielle says you can use whatever kind of fruit (fresh or frozen) you have on hand. Most of the other ingredients are pantry staples so it's likely you already have what you need to make these muffins today. Gabrielle also said the recipe is easy enough for her 10-year-old daughter, Abby, to make on her own. We used frozen blueberries in ours and they were delicious.
