Hearty and just the right amount of sweet, blueberry muffins should be celebrated for the grand food item that they are. Well, today is that day of honor for the baked good. National Blueberry Muffin Day is observed every year on July 11, and there’s no better way to commemorate the holiday than by making some batches of the treat yourself.

Whether you like a basic blueberry muffin, an extravagant one or a healthier type, there’s a version out there for everyone. Here are seven recipes to give a try on National Blueberry Muffin Day 2018:
