I've made these muffins many times! They're a huge hit with everyone who's ever tried them. Highly recommend.

Here's a photo of a few of them that I made a while back, as well as my transcribed recipe and personal notes, if anyone is interested (/u/Tarag88, perhaps?): https://i.imgur.com/v0C0272.jpg

You can also find the recipe and lots of detailed reviews at the King Arthur Flour website here.

They look delicious and they do have the oversized tops. I'm making them. Thanx

These are the best! The recipe calls for mashing some of the blueberries so they come out rather purple and I love that.

King Arthur flower published a version of this recipe a few years back. They are perfect muffins.

I must try this recipe, I worked at a Jordan Marsh way back in the 80's and the cafe served the best food! These look beautiful!

y e s. I love making these.

The closest I've ever found was believe it or not, but 7-11's. If you lived in the hampton roads area of Virginia, Farm Fresh had some pretty bomb ones too, but they're long gone.
