National Blueberry Muffin Day

National Blueberry Muffin Day was created specifically for those who love the aroma and taste of the summer berry—blueberries. Fragrant baking is appropriate for any holiday; it will be a great start to the day, but, of course, blueberry muffins are perfect at any time of the day.

History

The blueberry muffin has a story of culinary success. Blueberries have been used for baking in America for a long time, becoming very popular. When Pilgrims arrived in America, they noticed blueberries were practically unused. Since then, blueberries have been added to baked goods, ice cream, and pancakes, and frozen berries are added to drinks and smoothies. Pickled blueberries are a great base for sweets. But National Blueberry Muffin Day is dedicated to a specific dessert—the blueberry muffin. Unfortunately, it is impossible to say exactly when it became a national holiday.

Interesting Facts
