KETO RECIPE: Cream Cheese Blueberry Muffins
Blueberry muffins are an ultimate comfort food for me. When I was a teenager I used to make the boxed variety all the time, so they really bring me back. Now I make this keto-friendly version, and they are even more delicious. I slather them with butter before eating and they are so good!
