I want these to be the last blueberry muffins you ever make because I culled everything I had ever eaten, read, or loved about muffins and squashed them into 9 overfilled cups. These, like most muffins, are best on the first day.

But we’ve found—through extensive “research”—that if you heat them split open under a grill on day two with a pat of salted butter, they are so good that you’re going to forever hope for more blueberry-muffin leftovers.

Notes: The smaller amount (215g) of blueberries listed in the ingredients will make a well-berried muffin. The larger amount (255g) is for people —me! — who like just a little bit of muffin with their blueberries.
