blueberry muffins

Back home. It's a curious experience. 
Today I made a batch of muffins for myself, and a batch for gluten- and lactose intolerant friends. I would say that the latter came out better, as I was running low on regular yogurt and the normal muffins turned out a bit drier (so don't be bad and ignore the recipe like I did). What a lovely summer-like feel, perfectly matched with the unusually warm weather. It was a good day. There are few muffins left.

pre-heat the oven to 200C and line a cupcake tin 
mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in the other
