Part of the fun in forming friendships is finding the similarities & differences you share with someone else. There’s nothing like an opportunity to tell your stories and parts of who you are to fresh ears. When we were about a year into our friendship and still learning about each other’s lives, I remember walking down the street with Joy, telling her about my husband and his silly antics. Casey has a love for blueberry muffins like no one else and in the late 90s he created a little website for himself where he could track the best blueberry muffins around his office in downtown San Francisco. I happened to find it utterly charming and I could see that Joy respected his dedication. During that walk, Joy shared that she was working on a recipe for blueberry muffins in her cookbook that Casey would no doubt love.
Fast forward a few years later and now said cookbook is in my hands with her personal purple sharpie notes all over it. I felt somewhat paralyzed by it all. Where do I even begin?! Her friendship is so very dear to me and her cookbook has genuinely blown me away. I’m not saying this because we’re great friends; I have honestly never had a cookbook in my possession that has made me want to rush into my kitchen and try EVERY single recipe. So when I say I was paralyzed, I honestly didn’t know where to start. Which recipe first?!
I looked at her notes in the book and then found myself staring down this brown butter blueberry muffin recipe. Of course she had me at brown butter but then the memory of our conversation popped into my head. This is the killer blueberry muffin recipe! DUDE. I saw it on her website but now it’s in print! And it’s resting on my kitchen counter!
She wasn’t kidding; even the muffin batter was insane (it tasted like caramel!). Twelve super moist (she hates that word) muffins LOADED with blueberries and speckled with a buttery crumb topping. Tracy Shutterbean & Casey approved!
Joy! Thank you for sharing your talents with me, my family and the WORLD. You’ve challenged me to see things differently. You have opened my mind up to crazy wacky pattern combos, you’ve turned me into a girl that paints her nails every week, you’ve made a bourbon lover out of me, you’ve shown me that hard work eventually pays off and you’ve also helped me find my inner Oprah voice that shouts “YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO!” I’m so happy the rest of the world can see how truly talented & hard working you are. I’m so dang proud of you, friend!
One more thing! So of coooooourse I pre-ordered The Joy the Baker Cookbook a LOOONG time ago. It arrived today!
I’d love to give you one of my copies. So if you’d like a chance to win, leave a comment below! You’ll be magically entered. If you already bought the cookbook, hooray! I’m pretty sure one of your friends would love a copy.

Butter gets melted.
Soon it becomes brown butter! Let it cool.

Topping time! We’re thinking ahead.
Topping is done! I totally got butter on her cookbook. It has been baptized with God’s Gold!
Cooled brown butter goes into the milk/egg/vanilla mixture.
Dry goes into wet.
Blueberry get folded in.
Batter gets scooped out into a paper lined muffin tin.
Topping on top! Off to bake…
And HELLO!! Look at what we have here!
One by one…
They disappear…
Best blueberry muffin recipe. Ever!
Brown Butter Blueberry Muffins
makes 12 muffins
(recipe from the Joy the Baker Cookbook!)
For the muffins:
- 7 tablespoons butter (I used salted haha!)
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoons salt (don’t use if using salted butter)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
For the topping:
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Place the rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Set aside.
To make the muffins, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Keep an eye on the butter. It will melt, froth and begin to crackle. That’s the water cooking out of the butter. The crackling will subside and butter will begin to brown fairly quickly. Remove from heat when butter solids become a medium brown color and butter smells slightly nutty. Immediately pour hot putter into a small bowl or it will continue to cook and possibly burn in the hot saucepan. (I put my pan on a cool marble surface to cool off).
Whisk milk, egg, yolk and vanilla until combined. Add brown butter and whisk to combine.
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt (if using) in a medium bowl. Add the milk mixture all at once to the flour mixture and stir gently to combine. Gently but thoroughly fold in the blueberries. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups.
To make the topping: combine all the ingredients in a bowl and rub together with clean fingertips until crumbly. Sprinkle topping evenly over the muffin batter in cups.
Bake 18-20 minutes until golden and crisp and a skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool muffins in the pan for 15 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Muffins will last, at room temperature in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. Joy likes them best the day they’re made.

say somethingI love you and Joy! Such a fab duo.
“It has been baptized with God’s Gold” – perfect! I pre-ordered the book as well, but I have a friend who would also like a copy! (Also, does the copy you’re giving away have purple sharpie notes written in it too? Because that would be awesome!)
Ooooo, I want to eat those NOW! I’d also would love to win her cookbook!
Those look delicious. I love the addition of the brown butter. I really want her new cookbook. It looks awesome!
I love it! Such a lovely ode to your friend. I am really wanting to get my grubby little hands on this cookbook – so thank you for hosting such a rad giveaway!
I already have the book–my sister pre-ordered it for me like 5 months ago. But she needs her own copy, and this is the SWEETEST post ever. I am totally entering. You guys both rock.
Those look awesome. Brown butter=luuurrrve!
Don’t enter me, just want to say that Joy is coming to Book Larder on March 15th and I will be OUT OF TOWN. So bummed. Yummy muffins!
I’m such a sucker for brown butter. I think probably thanks to you and Joy. I’m so glad I found your blog through hers! They are my two go-to blogs now.
Wait. I want to hear more about the website Casey wrote that tracked the best blueberry muffins near his office in SF. Which one did he decided was best?
And YAY to brown butter and blueberry muffins! Joy’s cookbook looks sweet (and that’s no pun).
Congrats to your friend Joy – that’ so awesome! These muffins look scrumptious!
This post made me want to cry! I listen to your podcast and read BOTH of your blogs religiously. And not only do I feel like I know your friendship, but I also feel like we ARE friends! Thanks for the sweet friend-love letter for all of the world to see. Congrats to Joy on such a special day! And cheers to both of you for finding such a dear friendship.
These look sooooo good. Have only recently discovered brown butter and will be making these ASAP! can’t wait to get my hands on the cookbook
My copy is on its way, but I know a friend who would love it! Can’t wait to get my copy!
Leave a comment pertaining to what? How gorgeous Joy looks on the cover? How hers is one of the very very few cookbooks I actually want in my possession (I’m more of a food blog reader)? How darn charming I find her and how bananas her baking skills are? I need *direction*!
Also, my husband is too blueberry muffin obsessed. Not website tracking obsessed. He’s too lazy. But if you asked him his favorite muffin, he’d say blueberry over chocolate. You have no idea how huge that is.
This recipe looks scrumptious. I’d love to see it and the rest of Joy’s recipes in her new book.
Great blog post totally made me tear up….I know odd. Glad that you have such a great friend.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the book! Maybe that will give me motivation to get back to baking and blogging.
Your podcast keeps me going on my commute to work. Having to return after baby #2 was very hard. You guys keep me smiling!
Now I need a muffin!
so exciting! what a sweet post. of course I am excited about the book, but your girls friendship is a really wonderful thing to share. I am sure your support is just adding to Joy’s elation today. Thanks for the recipe, they look incredible.
If it’s possible to fall in love with a muffin, I think I just have. I NEED this book! (I also fell in love with many of the recipes featured in the preview feature on amazon.com…)
I WOULD LOVE THE JOY THE BAKER COOKBOOOOOOOOOKKKKK! Oprah voice…duh. P.S. Love your blog. Thanks for all your rocking inspiration!
Long time reader of her blog so would love to get my hands on her cookbook. Muffins look delish!
I. Am. Drooling. I’m pretty sure I want to make every recipe in her book because I implicitly trust her taste buds.
Oh my word. Those look insane! Brown butter and that topping?! I die.
You are total cuties! Wishing the both of you so much success!
These muffins look amazing. I can’t wait to make them for my daughters!
Oh my gosh! Those muffins look crazy good! I can’t get over how amazing pastries for breakfast are… It’s breaking the rules without actually doing anything wrong. So great. I would love love love a copy of Joy’s book, I’m an avid reader of both of your blogs!
OMG these look delicious! I am definitely going to bake some!!!
I want to win this cookbook! I read cookbooks like most people read novels. I get all comfy cozy in my bed and read the cookbook cover to cover. I love to cook and bake for people I care about. If I don’t win it, well, another cookbook I will have to go and buy because it looks like a winner!!!
a little story of a comment… I just hung up the phone with my best friend, Elon, who in short has inspired me in many ways Joy has inspired you. None the less, that brought tears to my eyes reading of you friendship. I moved to the Portland, Oregon area one year ago, and I miss my best friend to death. I just read last night Joy will be here in two weeks, I have been a fan of you and hers for sometime now, I would love to high five her and have her sign her magical book. You two are pretty awesome. Thanks for the chance of a giveaway!
These blueberry muffins look great!!! Must be a wonderful cookbook.
Why, HELLO there. I think I definitely have some blueberry stained fingers in my future.
In my family, blueberry muffins have a funny story. Back when I was living in Brooklyn, I had a 4th generation Italian bakery down the street, amazing — tiny, tiny inside and very, very crowded — shelves upon shelves of fresh muffins, rugelach, baguettes, bagels and more. You had to order and pay quickly to avoid the NYC stink eye.
Enter my Mom on a visit to the big city…true blood Texan, and very indecisive. Never mind we had to wait in line for 15 min just to get up to the counter…which is PLENTY of time for a decision to be made. But she got up there, had total deer-in-the-headlights look, got the stink eye BIG TIME and stammered “ummmmmm…..blueberry muffin???”
Best part is…she hates blueberry muffins.
These muffins look awesome. I love Joy the Baker and am so glad she wrote a cookbook.
I can’t wait to get this book!!
My heart skipped a beat when I saw you had BROWN BUTTER blueberry muffins. I didn’t think such a thing existed. I may have freaked out in my kitchen. My roommate might have laughed at me from her room. We will never know if these were true. (They totally were). Then, I kept reading. Of course this would come from Joy! I love both of you guys so much and so excited that Joy’s cookbook is FINALLY out now. I can’t wait to make these for myself. =]
Hi Tracy! It’s another Tracy.
I’d love to win. Just started listening to your podcast and I love to bake (although I’m a beginner). Thanks!!
Looks like a delicious recipe. I have Joy’s book on my wishlist!
I may just be super emotional today but I was getting all teary eyed reading this! I love how good of a friendship you and Joy have. Thanks for sharing it with all of us! Can’t wait to try these muffins
Yay for Miss Joy… You were the first food blogger I started following a ways back thanks to Miss Frecklewonder, then I discovered Joy! You two are a dynamic-duo!.
Ooo! Would love to get the Joy the Baker cookbook! She (and you) seriously inspire me! Now you need to start working on the Shutterbean cookbook…
I love that you and Joy both have blogs where y’all love on each other all the time. It’s like I get a secret peek into your friendship! (And I get the added benefit of getting all the best recipes from both).
oh man….i can’t wait to try these once it’s summer and blueberries are more in season. also, brown butter is amazing…your brown butter frosting (for the pumpkin cake) has earned me lots compliments.
Oh I’d love to win this book. I can only imagine how awesome it is!!
These look Fantastic! Kudos to both of you for all the hard work you put in, it is appreciated!
I would LOVE a copy of Joy’s cookbook! I’m a grad student on the tightest budget, so free is about all I can afford. Thanks Tracy!
so excited to hear it’s in PRINT! wooot-
I would love to win a copy and if I don’t, it is going on my wish list fur-sure.
Joy and Tracy love!!! This post makes me so happy, and I would adore getting that cookbook on my hands.
I’m loving the butter baptism! I will most definitely have to baptize my cookbook when I go see Joy during her book tour!
I made those muffins for the first day of school this year and they were a huge hit! Your post reminds me it’s time to make them again. Can’t wait to check out Joy’s cookbook!
I cannot wait to make these! I hope I can win the cookbook too.
Yummy! Blueberry muffins=delicious, brown butter=addicting, brown butter blueberry muffins………heaven!
aw man, that was the sweetest, most adorablest, make my teeth hurt, post ever about your friendship! it makes me want to pick up the phone and call all my best girlfriends and tell them how important they are to me! my birthday is march 2nd, and all i want is this dang cookbook!
I would LOVE the joy the baker cookbook!! In fact, If I don’t win, I will purchase it anyway
I am not a muffin lover, but I can overlook that for brown butter
I love the dynamic between you and Joy, and I hope to see your cookbook on the shelves one day (if that’s something you’d like to accomplish as well!)
Love this recipe and the cookbook and Joy and Tracy Shutterbean!!! Yay!!!
I am dying for this cookbook! And to make these muffins…
Very excited to meet Joy at her New York book signing! This post is so sweet!
Magically. Entered. Cookbook. Yeah!
Oh my goodness, those muffins look to DIE FOR. I told my mom about Joy’s cookbook and how I was going to order it, and she decided it MUST be my birthday present, so now I must wait a few weeks until I visit my mom! I can’t wait.
YUM & what a sweet post! Totally inspired to make these to share with my bestie! xx
It would be lovely to have this book in my hands!!!
Ah! These look awesome! I really want to win a cookbook—I put it on my birthday list for next month (I’m a Taurus, uh, in case you decide to randomly search my archives so you can see if we’re compatible…hi, podcast obsessed) but I want it NOW. Yay!
Listening to the two of you chat about the most random (but totally important) things during the Joy the Baker Podcast is always an incredibly mood-lifting experience. This post was so sweet and just shows how well you guys mesh. I hope you blog some more about other recipes from the book, which I am saving up for and can’t wait to get.
Yes PLEASE! P.S. I adore the podcast and listen every week.
Delicious post! Now all I want for dinner is one of those muffins!
Love you two! (and I would love a copy of Joy’s cookbook) I love listening to your podcast. I love hearing the two friends laugh and talk!
I was so happy when Joy replies to my tweet today when I mentioned buying the book this weekend. Id be even happier to gift it to my sister and win this one!
Replied whoops
Love your blog, love Joy’s blog, LOVE the podcast! I would like to add this cookbook to my lovefest.
These look so yummy. Yes, I’d would love to have Joy’s cookbook. So glad you and Joy are friends or I may not have found you! I just love your everyday life series you started this year…and all the yummy recipes too:)
These look amazing! Thanks for the chance to win
These muffins look delicious! I already ordered my cookbook but I’d be glad to pass 1 on
There is nothing more I would love than a Joy the Baker Cookbook. From my life in California, to New York, and now Argentina… both of your food blogs and captivating podcast have been there for me just at the right time… just when I need a little laughter and creativity. So thank you!
I would love a copy of Joy’s book. I had so much fun meeting you two at Homefries and hope I get to hang out with y’all again soon!
I love Joy and can’t wait to get her book
Such a sweet, sweet post about your friendship. I love that. The muffins look fantastic, and I’m not even all that into muffins. Can’t wait to check out Joy’s book!
brown butter = yum
I totally need this cookbook, and that yellow polka dot plate, and those muffins…you, Joy, your blogs and your podcast are all crazy-town inspirational
Oh, yes please! And who can say no to browned butter AND blueberries?!
These look absurdly good. Like I’m going to eat every single one of them by myself by hiding them away in a secret baked goods drawer so no one else knows. My roomate always gets weirded out when i’m listening to your podcasts laughing out loud as theres no actual people with me. but its fine. I would love love a copy of the book! though tracy you’re going to have to start working on one so that i have a nice collection. Thanks!!!
You and Joy have made this year so awesome with all of your delicious recipes and ah-mazing podcasts.
I listen to you guys while getting ready for work and it almost makes getting up bearable! P.S. I think its totes awesome you made her recipe today 
This post made my heart ache for my friends that are far away but so very dear to me.
The muffins literally made my mouth water as I read the recipe! I like how now, thanks to you, whenever I see ANYTHING in caps I say it in an Oprah voice, in my head of course! For now at least…..
I love you guys and your podcasts, and I would adore a chance to win this cookbook. Thanks so much, Tracy!
Love it! Both you and joy rock my socks off! I’m planning in buying the book tonight after I get out of school!
I totally already preordered it but made the mistake of choosing super saver shipping! Why?! Either way I totally know some ladies who would love a copy!
OH MY GOSH. want. need. all of the above. I loved your sentiments for Joy and your friendship, and whether or not I’m selected to get the cookbook, I will have a copy in my hands asap. As always, love your blog, Tracy!
I’ve made the recipe from the Joy The Baker website before and they are AWESOME! I always make a batch when I want to impress someone with my baking skills. Can’t wait to get the cookbook! I planed to purchase one, but winning one would be great!
can’t wait to try these….and i really really want to win joy’s cookbook. was supposed to go to her book signing tonight, but wasn’t able to find a sitter. this would sort of make up for not getting a chance to meet her in person. would love to see a cookbook come out of you too tracy. been loving all of your recipes. made the cashews twice in 3 days and also the earl grey cake last week. keep it up.
this post melts my heart. friendship is a beautiful thing, especially yours and joys! happy jtb cookbook day!
Joy’s blog was the first I ever followed and through that found your amazing blog, and the totally important unimportant pod cast that makes me feel like I’m having a conversation with friends. I can not wait to get my hands on a copy of this book.
(P.S. I hope to see a Tracy Shutterbean cookbook next!)
I would love the cookbook, I didn’t get my act together to preorder it. I’ll definitely be buying it if I don’t win. Also I’ve made these muffins before and they are smack your momma good.
Oooooooo! So excited about this cookbook!
Mmm, I am confident that my tummy would find these delicious! Can’t wait to check out Joy’s book! My sister literally JUST texted me a picture of hers. Tease!
I’m so delighted that Joy’s cookbook is finally here & I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy! As soon as your podcast appears in my iTunes every library each week I instantly download it – you ladies keep me laughing with your real talk whether I’m working out in the gym or cooking in my kitchen! I feel like you’re my friends too even though we’ve never met (just tweeted and shared a Pinterest addiction)…how crazy is that?! Your photos inspired me to do my own #project366 and both you and Joy give me so many brilliant recipe ideas…thank you xxx
I absolutely love listening to you and Joy on your podcasts. So of course I had to order one of her books today and cannot wait to get it in the mail tomorrow. It would be awesome to be able to give her cookbook away to a friend.
Can’t wait to try this recipe! I love the dynamic, LOL-inducing chats that you and Joy have on your podcast!
Oh Tracy, that is so sweet! I listen to your podcast with Joy every week, and it’s so wonderful to see your friendship grow and listen to all your funny stories.
Those blueberry muffins look absolutely delish, and I will definitely be trying out the recipe. And as a side note, I’d just like to add that as a major fan of your work, I’ll be really looking forward to when you have your own Shutterbean cookbook. Fingers crossed and good luck!
I love you two
Is that weird? No. It’s awesome.
I’ve had the Joy the Baker cookbook on my wish list for a while now, and my birthday’s exactly a week a way, but let’s see if I can win it first.
Magically entered… do I magically get one of those muffins too?!
Wow, your amazing ode to joy almost brought tears to my eyes (seriously-crying on Caltrain makes you look like a crazy lady). Would love to get to know this amazing woman better though the book! Gonna have to sub another berry since blue are not my favs and I will totally use salted butter, makes brown butter all that much more better.
Can’t wait to get the book!
Aww, I love you guys! My day is never complete without my Joy the Baker fix. With every new post, I’m just dying to get into the kitchen and sweep the world off its feet with her recipes! I also use ‘bonkers’ to describe things way more now. I kind of love it. She is so lucky to have you as a friend! xoxo to you both!
What a sweet post!! I love listening to you two every thursday on your podcast! I’m itching to get this book in my hands too now!!
These look amazing and OF COURSE I would love a copy of the cookbook! Please & thank you.
Im making this recipe this weekend! Looks yummy!!

As a lover of your blog and Joy’s blog, and duh, the podcast, this post made me have that warm, (brown buttery) loving feeling inside! I’m so excited about all this stuff too!
And yes please I wanna get in on all the new Joy the Baker foodstuffs!
I will be making this soon. Looks delicious!

I would absolutely adore a copy of Joy’s cookbook!

Love! Can’t wait to cook my way through this book!!
I listen to your podcast with Joy every week, I love you guys and these muffins look out of control amazing!
Yes please! Fingers crossed…
What a sweet post! Friends are the best, it’s so sweet to hear you love on Joy! I would love to get my hands on this cookbook
I pre-ordered Joys book for myself, my mother and my best friend. I should possibly have one for my mother-in-law too!!
Love this post, love Joy, can’t wait for her book and I’m SO excited to see her in SF this weekend!
I adore you and Joy!! Fingers crossed for a cookbook!
So, a Shutterbean cookbook is next, RIGHT?!
I hope soon. Joy’s book looks so snappy! It’ll go on my wish list, unless I get real lucky and win it…
Agreed! I hope you’re considering putting a cookbook in the works too.
Whoa, looks and sounds amazing!
These look AMAZING!! I cannot wait to try them — and all the other Joy recipes!
I have been dying to see this cookbook!! I love both of your blogs!
Your friendship is so inspiring! Love the podcast
Thanks for sharing the recipe and giveaway!
I love your blog and Joy’s and your podcast. I was really excited about Joy coming to St. Louis but cannot make it now. I was going to buy the book there for her to sign it. So would love to get a copy. Thanks.
These muffins look fantastic. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of Joy’s book!
What a very sweet message for Joy. And what wonderful looking muffins. Brown butter makes everything better. Butter in general. I’d LOVE a copy of this cookbook! Also, a huge fan of your podcast. You guys are picking up a following, keep up the wonderful work
OH MY. This is actually perfect timing because I saw a blueberry muffin recipe on Turntable Kitchen not too long ago and I’ve been craving them since then and not doing anything about it. The brown butter is enough to get my attention (I kind of just want to put brown butter in everything I bake). I have tomorrow morning off so this is happening. Nom nom nom.
And speaking of amazing friendships, if I won the cookbook I would give it to my bestie. I pre-ordered my own copy the day it was announced, but we’re both obsessed enough with you and Joy that she ought to own a copy too.
Made them this morning! SO worth it.
I love Joy and would loooooove her cookbook!
Joy has brought me many cooking adventures (some more successful than others) but most importantly, she lead me to you Ms. Tracy Shutterbean! Thanks for sharing your friendship via your podcast, and all the goodness that is you and your blog. Much love all around.
I enjoy listening to the two of you each week while I’m out walking off the calories from the great recipes.
Those look divine and I would love that cookbook!
I love you both and think so highly of you two and your talents. I obviously have pre-ordered my book and am anxiously waiting on it but would LOVE to win one to give to my sister!
Lots of love to you both! MUWAH!
Count me in on having her cookbook!
Do you ever do any gluten-free baking?
Would love to know if you have any recipes to suggest
those look fabulous
I would love a copy of Joy’s book!
oh pick me please! this is on my list
HOORAY FOR JOY! And day-um. Those muffins look good.
Nothing smells better than brown butter. I would wear it if it was a perfume! These are on my list to make when there are fresh blueberries in the summer.
oh this book is on my list….
i would love to gift this book to my wife….she loves baking.
Yes please!
Loving the Joy/Tracy love that happens everywhere from the podcast to each of your blogs. You both inspire me.
And, I’ve literally been searching for a crowd-pleaser muffin recipe because I have to bring breakfast to work this week. Done and done! Thanks, Tracy!
What a wonderful post! I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a cookbook so badly. I can’t wait to get my hands on one!
yum. I will so make these as soon as I’m off my sugar-free cleanse.
Love it!
These are the first things of Joy’s I ever made and I about DIED. #favorite
Would love to win Joy’s cookbook! That recipe looks amazing and I am sure all of the others are too!
These look delicious! I love a good blueberry muffin. I preordered my book ages ago too, but mine won’t come for a few days! I’m so disappointed. I’d love to win an extra anyways!
I was just looking for a killer muffin recipe. Score!
These look amazing. I would love to win the cookbook so I could make everything.
mmmmmmm…brown butter
I love your friendship!
Oooh, yum. Those look super delightful! I have always loved blueberry muffins but have never made them from scratch before. I will definitely need to make this my first.
I still haven’t gotten around to ordering her cookbook yet, but hopefully I’ll win one now.
Brown butter makes everything better! God’s Gold indeed. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of Joy’s book!
Yum! I cannot wait to get this book (that is if I don’t win
)
Oh goodness, this post made me all misty-eyed. I’ve already ordered Joy’s book, but it’d be fun to win a copy for a friend.
And I can’t wait to try these muffins! I’m not generally much of a muffin person, but these sound irresistable. Browned butter will do that, of course.
Oh my goodness. I would LOVE to own this book! Can’t wait to make these muffins, I’ve never ‘browned’ butter before!
Well THOSE look amazing!! Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this cookbook!
OMG, the post is great & the recipe sounds Awesome! I hope to win a copy of Joy’s book!
Your reminiscing about the your friendship with Joy and your husband’s insane love for blueberry muffins touched a cord in my heart. True love and true friendship collide into a mushy muffin. Purty innit?
OMG I am so pumped about this cookbook! Here’s to hoping I win that free copy…if not I’ll be ordering it online ASAP. Also: those muffins look AMAZING and delicious.
Looking forward to flipping through Joy’s book. It looks beautiful.
i also pre-ordered joy’s book and it arrived today! however, i have a dear friend that would love to bake her little heart out with joy’s recipes. thanks for the givaway tracy!
UM YES PLEASE! Would love to win! And this comment goes for your future book!
Would love to win and give to my cookbook/baking/cooking chef of a mom!
I hate blueberries but once they find themselves in a pancake or muffin, I’m all theirs.
would love to win this amazing book!
Woo hoo! March 2nd is my daughter’s first birthday, so I feel this will give me good giveaway karma.
obsessed with cookbooks! once they make scratch and sniff, i’m sure hoarding them would be more acceptable!!
i love cookbooks! please internet gods, let me win one giveaway!
I know it probably won’t happen, but I would love to win this cookbook! I have wanted it since Joy announced it was available for preorder. But alas tight budget and medical bills dictated that I not order it then. So winning would be wonderful! Thank you for the opportunity!
I love blueberry muffins and cookbooks so this post is doing things to me.
I love blueberry muffins, and for some reason I haven’t had them in years!
Yours look delicious, it helps when you have a great recipe to work from!
yes i want to win her book! how did you know!!!
I have wanted one ever since it was announced! Would love to win!
I so want to win this!!! But if I don’t win, I’ll just buy myself a copy.
These muffins sound great!
I wish I could eat one right now!
What a lovely post! I have already ordered Joy’s cookbook, but would love to win a copy to share with a friend. Thank you!
These look amazing! I hope I win so I can bake them all!!
It’s recipes like this and your wonderful sense of style that keeps me coming back to visit your blog!
Yes, God’s Gold!! I’m so excited about this recipe. I love hearing about your friendship with Joy. You two are too cute.
This is such an incredibly sweet post, and I love the little jokes from things you guys have said on the podcast. This recipe is high up on my list of recipes from the cookbook to try out soon. Thanks, Tracy!
Just put mine in the oven! Can’t wait to try them!!
Pre-ordered my copy already, hasn’t arrived.
Would love an extra copy for a dear friend!!!
Cannot wait to try these!
Pick me! I saw the book’s index and I want to make EVERYTHING.
the story you have written is incredibly touching, truly. i heard about her website through you and i check both daily!
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I love blueberry muffins and BUTTER in, on and around all foods. Thanks for the giveaway.
Dang, these look heavenly! The idea of brown butter in anything gets me all kinds of excited. I would expect nothing less from Joy – she is awesome. It’s great reading about your friendship – you ladies are both fabulous and I love both of your blogs!
Joy’s cookbook has been sitting on my amazon wish list since I heard about it on her blog! And holy moley what beautiful muffins!
Shamma lamma ding dong!
What a great giveaway, Tracy! Thank you!
P.S. i love your yellow polka dot plate!
I have requested it from my library, but I would love to own a copy also. You guys are great!
Yum! It is tantalizing pictures like these that make me carb crave during my night shifts!!
What a beautiful post about your friendship! It made my heart swell just reading it. Those muffins look fantastic, I *cannot* wait to get my hands on a copy and start baking through it!
OOOOOooo I love blueberry muffins! These definitely look like a must try recipe, thanks for the inspiration!
I love Joy THE BAKER:)
I am so excited about this book! I love what both you and Joy do in your websites and in Homefries. Keep going:)
They look perfect and I like that it isn’t loaded with butter!
What a wonderful blog! I’d love to win Joy’s book
Ahh, can’t wait to make these! Wonder if it would work as a cake? My foreign kitchen lacks a muffin tin : (
Touching tribute, Tracy!
LOVE berry muffins of all kinds and would LOVE to make these ones when Blueberries are in season! Your podcast is a weekly MUST for me
thanks for sharing!
Ooooh, they look like blobs of buttery sunshine. They might end up being my birthday breakfast tomorrow!
These muffins look like the expensive ones I enjoy at a local gourmet bakery. Would love the cookbook to try this recipe!
Wow! I am hungry now and I would looooove to bake from Joy’s book
Hi tracy, these muffins look amazing! (never used brown butter before)
I would love to make them, including all the other recipies!
I live in Holland.. hoping you can send Joy The Baker to Holland!
Oh man, I pre-ordered the book ages ago but it’s not out until late March in the UK! This is killing me, I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Also, I agree with Joy. ‘Moist’ (eugh) makes me shudder.
would love to have Joy’s cookbook! Those are some mighty fine looking muffins.
These need to be in my belly. I’m in loooove!
everything is better with brown butter! Those muffins are gorgeous. I need one ASAP!
oh wow these look delicious! i’m studying abroad in australia right now and our kitchen situation is horrendous but i can’t wait to get home and bake these babies!
I have some wonderful muffins papers – these muffins are there paper worthy ( anyone get the Seinfels reference…..). : )
Gorgeous muffins! Her cookbook definitely came out at the right time, as I’m starting to lose my inspiration to cook at the very end of winter.
These look fabulous! I would love to win this book
Those muffins look amazing! This recipe looks like a must-bake to me
I read Joy’s blog every morning – judging by what I’ve seen there, everything in her cookbook must be delicious 
My husband loved blueberry muffins too! I have yet to try working with brown butter (I know!) but I think this would be the perfect recipe for my first attempt!
ahhh pick me pick me!! i absolutely am dying for her cookbook! brown butter anything has my heart
Love your work! Looks delicious:-))
I’ve a love-hate relationship with blueberries. I have a very vivid memory of eating blueberries & cream with my mom while sitting on the floor of our nearly-empty apartment, watching tennis on a tiny black & white television that was on a wooden folding chair — I was about three years old. Now I like to eat fresh blueberries with string cheese — pop a few blueberries into my mouth, then take a bite of the cheese = yum. But I generally detest blueberry-flavored things. Blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins, etc. are usually a no-go for me. Unless I make them myself. Then it’s different somehow.
These muffins look divine! I cannot wait to get my hands on Joy’s cookbook. (I have a huge blog-crush on her!)
Totally teared up while reading this post! Your friendship with Joy is heartwarming. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
I am so excited for Joy’s cookbook- I wanted it the second she announced it! It was seeing a picture of that infamous cinnamon sugar pull-apart bread that really got me into baking in the first place a little less than a year ago. And now I’m “that girl” in my dorm who bakes all the time. It doesn’t hurt that her writing is also amazing and she manages to sneak some real talk life advice in there every so often- super helpful for a college girl! AND she led me to Shutterbean!
Thanks for posting this recipe!
Oh, this looks incredibly GOOD! I will definitely make these for my birthday party later this month!! (and this book goes on my wish list for sure!)
Joy rocks! As do you, Tracy! Hope I win!
I started reading Joy the Baker a while ago, and she totally introduced me to your blog! I love both of your websites so much, and would adore a Joy the Baker cookbook!!
My bf also has a strange blueberry muffin obsession. I NEED this cookbook!
Muffins!
Great post! You two are adorable…as are the muffins!
Those muffins are just too good looking. I am moving into my first home away from my parents this week, it would be nice to stock the kitchen with one cookbook to help fill the holes of the ones that belong to my mother that I am leaving behind.
These look amazing! I need to go home and make them now along with everything else in Joy’s book!
holy yum! Casey’s blueberry muffin dedication rivals my boyfriend’s muffin madness. (he also may or may not have a nacho spreadsheet.) He would die over these. I love you two…I read both your blogs and listen to your podcast. Can we be best friends? It’s cool that I live in Virginia right? My birthday is coming up and a Joy the Baker cookbook would be the perfect birthday gift!! (double exclamation points on that). thanks for brightening my mornings!
I have been so damn excited about Joy’s cook book coming out since she first mentioned it. I love her, and I love you too! I listen to your podcast every single night before bed (that’s kinda weird isn’t it?), for that reason, I’ve listened to every episode like, 15 times. I bloody love it. Just wanted to tell you that.
And also, blueberry muffins and incredible, and these look like the best of the best.
Cannot wait to get her book. X
MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmuffins! Now, please and thank you.
Hi Tracy,
I would love to win a copy of Joy’s new cookbook. It sounds wonderful and even though I might not be able to eat many of the baked items (unless they are gluten free) I can share them with my family and friends. My son loves to cook so maybe I can just hand it right over to him. I truly enjoy your blog and Joy’s and of course have listened to every episode of the podcast. Have a great day and thanks for all you do.
You and Joy have such beautiful and easy-to-follow photos & recipes for the tastiest treats and most novel combinations. Also both of you have such a positive & fun voice in your writing, which I really appreciate—I am psyched about this cookbook and of course, to continue following your respective blogs.
I would LOVE a copy of Joy’s cookbook!
She is amazing…and those muffins look amazing too 
Ooh pick me! I will wholeheartedly try as many recipes from this book as I possibly can..:)
I would love to win a copy of Joy’s cookbook. And thank you for sharing this recipe. Blueberry muffins with Browned Butter? My life is now complete.
Really really can’t wait to see Joys cookbook! Those muffins look delicious!
This looks fabulous! i would love a copy of Joy’s cookbook!
I have been waiting for this cookbook for sooo long!
This definitely is the BEST blueberry muffin recipe out there! I first made these about a month ago and have already made them a second time. They were a huge hit, just like the rest of Joy’s amazing dishes!
These muffins look amazing! I’m dying for one of these cookbooks – I hope I win!
awesome friendship + muffins = big warm heart
browned butter in muffins = delicious !
I am not a muffin baking kind of person but those look good – although I might have to use salted butter too (too much trouble to buy two kinds…) – sorry Joy!
This looks like such a gorgeous cookbook, and a phenomenal recipe! I can’t wait to try it.
I’ve totally been lurking on Joy the baker and Shutterbean but now is the time to comment! I love you ladies..such a dynamic duo!! And omg this muffin…
These muffins look delicious!!! They’re going on my short list of things to make soon
Oh my GOSH, how I’d love to win! Those blueberry muffins look downright amazing. I’ve been such a fan of you and Joy, and most of all, your podcast together! You are both hilarious and wonderful and make my apartment cleaning days much more pleasant.
These look AAAAAAA-mazing. I do love a good blueberry muffin. How nice of you to give away Joy’s cookbook!
I listen to your podcast and am trying to introduce all my friends to it. That way, when I want to make jokes about doing an Oprah voice or about how Mondays are hard, someone will actually know what I’m talking about! I live in a tiny studio by myself and I love listening to you two being hilarious and goofy when I’m cooking in my wee little kitchen; it feels like having friends right there with me. And gives me an excuse to drink a glass of wine while cooking in the middle of the day (you know, if friends are over, it’s totally, totally appropriate…)
such a sweet post! and a delicious looking muffin.
Yummmmm these look amazing! I have not baked with brown butter yet but I need to! I also would love this cookbook!
YUM! Can’t wait to check out Joy’s book
I am loving the love that his happening here. Congratulations to Joy’s success, and to your wonderful and enduring friendship! Oh… and I would love the book as well. No biggie.
Those look to. die. for. period! Oh my Word! I would love to get a copy of Joy’s cookbook!!!! Love your pictures and that yellow polka dotted plate.. so cute.
I must have checked my front porch 8 times since yesterday morning, hoping to see a little box with the new cookbook in it! My sister pre-ordered it for me for Christmas, and I’d love to give her a copy as I know it will be totally rad!
oh my. I am quite a blueberry muffin maniac myself. I have a king arthur recipe on my list to try (it involves golden flax seed meal, so is on the healthier side of the spectrum), but these may have to take the number one slot.
I am a huge fan of joy’s and have her cookbook on my wish list. but if I won this one, I’d love to share that wish list copy with someone else!
I can’t think of a better way of combining my two main internet girl-crushes than winning a Joy the Baker cookbook from Tracy Shutterbean! And I’ve had those brown butter blueberry muffins before…never seen muffins disappear from my kitchen so fast from my kitchen before.
Brown butter is amazing stuff, can’t wait to try these muffins. Would love to have a copy of Joy’s cookbook to see what other delectable delights are in there.
Those look fantastic, I’d love to win a copy of the cookbook. thanks,
I love Joy and I adore you and your blog. Thanks for sharing!
Haven’t pre-ordered my copy yet, but I’m looking forward to getting this cookbook ASAP!
These muffins sound utterly wonderful.
i love you and joy so SO much! would love to win joy’s cookbook too
I never preordered a copy and I don’t know why and I have been wondering about how awkward it’s going to be when I go to her book signing without a book… Obviously, I just need to buy one or WIN one!
I’ve been dropping hints about this cookbook to my boy since I learned of it and I’m HOPING he got the hint. I have yet to see it on my kitchen table though and would LOVE to add it to my collection. Love you both, thanks for keeping me laughing out loud with your podcasts! LOVE!
Oh, that’s one of the ones I flagged for must-try-first, too! A dear friend of mine pre-ordered the book for me for my birthday in January, and I have it (YAY! YAY!), and I would LOVE to gift it back to her!
Every recipe in Joy’s cookbook made me want to drool … then go make it. I’d love to be able to give a copy to a friend.
I totally have a mental chart ranking blueberry muffins at various establishments in Columbus, Ohio, where I live. Luckily for me, the best is right down the street from my office. That makes me smile that your husband created a website for that- awesome. I look forward to trying Joy’s version here- everything I’ve ever made from one of her recipes has been amazing. I listen to the Joy the Baker podcast at work- I work by myself so I love listening to good podcasts. Listening to you guys banter makes me feel less isolated, and it helps keep me from going crazy being all by myself all day! I’m so happy for Joy that she has this cookbook coming out- I’d love to win it (who doesn’t love winning!) but I’m sure I’ll buy a copy anyway.
I would love a copy to share with a few of my baker friends, mine is in the mail, so I will have to try this recipe when it arrives.
I would love to win Joy’s book. It’s great listening to both of you on the podcast every week…makes me wish I lived in Cali and we could hang out.
My boyfriend is also a blueberry muffin lover. I’ll have to try out this recipe! Thanks!
Joy is the reason I found you a few months ago. You are bookmarked in my computer. Last night I bought the ingredients to Kale slaw which I will devour today. My refrigerator is currently sparkling due to a recent post of yours. Consistent inspiration and great ideas and my kind of recipes. Oh, yes. And I just used my brand new juicer: kale, grapefruit, apple, lemon, and ginger. Something else you have shed your lovely light upon. We have so much to thank Joy for.
I have been dreaming about this cookbook since I first read about it on Joy’s site…however I have to spread out my cookbook purchases so my husband doesn’t spaz out about how they are taking over the house. I will get my hands on this book eventually though!
ME PLEASE!!
Everyone in my life needs Joy’s cookbook. I think my husband loves me more since I’ve been reading both shutterbean.com and joythebaker.com. He gets a nomulent meal homemade pretty much every weeknight. I’ve become pretty boss at pancakes, salads and ‘weird’ ingredient cakes on the weekends as well. You guys make me a better person.
Aww, Joy deserves every glowing post she gets! I love her site and would love to own this cookbook.
those muffins look SO AMAZING. i’m craving them now.
I will be dreaming of these! so good! lovely post.
Ohh, I love me some cupcakes. And I love me some Joy, would love a copy of her cookbook
those look SOOOOOO good!!! If I wasn’t afraid I’d eat them all myself, I’d make them when I get home!
I can’t wait to try these!
Of course I would love to win a copy of the cookbook….it is next on my wishlist to purchase from Amazon when I get a little extra $$$!
Your friendship with Joy is so very special. I admire you both and would love a copy of the cookbook. Thanks!
The muffins look super yummy! Would love to have a bit of Joy on my cookbook shelf!!
I love the two of you together; so funny and entertaining. The podcasts are great! I have to get my hands on one of these cookbooks!
I’d love to share a copy of Joy’s cookbook with a friend, and of course can’t wait for mine to arrive! Tracy Shutterbean + Joy the Baker = Awesome.
I am making these asap!
Joy has done it again. I actually stumbled upon your blog through her about a year ago, and between the two of you, I have endless recipes book marked. I have ordered a book for myself, but a friend of mine who has recently discovered the wonderful world of Joy would be tickled if I showed up on her doorstep with a copy of this bad boy.
It’s so nice to see ladies inspiring other ladies! Keep doin’ what you’re doin’!
The book looks beautiful (and delicious)!! I’d love to have a copy!!
I would love a copy!! I can’t wait to make this recipe too, I looooove browned butter
I would love this cookbook as I follow both you and Joy.Plus, I’m getting a kitchen aid mixer this weekend and want to try all these receipes out with it!
I am so excited about this book. My kitchen is filled with the recipe books of Alton Brown, all marked up with bits of food and pencil markings. I can’t wait to add this book in all of it’s Joy-ness to the collection.
These look amazing! I’m so proud of Joy, too. And I only know her in my computer! I can’t wait to have her book in my hands. And my kitchen!
Ha ha! Did you expect 200+ comments?! I enjoy your podcasts (by the way maybe it’s time to find a name that includes both of you for podcast title. just saying..), they make the gloomy crisis-atmosphere here in Athens (Greece) less gloomy. Thanks for both of your charming and happy voices that out here and make me laugh! I wish you the success you want with your blog too.
This looks delicious! I’ll have to try it!
And Pick me pick me!
It looks like a great cookbook and I’d love a copy! The muffins look moist (yes, gross word) and amazing!
Now THAT is a blueberry muffin recipe that I can get behind. Sounds delish and I can’t wait to try it. Would love to have the book as well!
Food blogging has changed my life and your blog is fabulous! Your recipes have given me the chance to try so many different types of foods and I LOVE IT! I would love the chance to win this cookbook!!
I am a newish follower of your blog and I am in love! My husband would love these muffins I will be making sure to get to the store to get blueberries this weekend
yum…these look amazing! and also, those blueberries are HUGE!
Oh joy! Hope I win…
Those muffins look amazing! Would love a copy of Joy’s book!
Congratulations to Joy! Both of your blogs and the podcast bring a smile to my day.
~Megan
I totally pre-ordered mine already, but I would love to give one to a friend! Also, I want these muffins, right now…
I would love a copy! and I love both of your blogs so much!
XOXO-Misty
oh my god, what a sweet post! and aaaahhhh The Joy the Baker cookbook is all ive been talking about to my boyfriend/mom/friends/dog for weeks! I would love a copy! Those muffins look TO DIE FOR GOOD!
I can’t even remember how many times I’ve made these muffins. As soon as I read the early recipe for these on her blog I rushed to the store and bought blueberries. And then went back to the store 2 hrs later to buy more blueberries for more batches. They are my go to baked item now or the thing I make when I need to cheer myself up. And now I want to ditch work to go home and make some!
Happy Leap Day! These muffins look super bomb. I still have yet to brown butter, but I feel like that is something which needs to happen soon…
These look insane!!!! LOVE it, can’t wait to try them myself! Even if I don’t win a copy I know the purchase will be totally worth it!
Aww such a warm and lovely post
Is the competition open to everyone? I’m in the UK, and the UK Amazon is saying I can’t have it until the 22nd March, I’m feeling a bit left out! 
It is on my wishlist though, it looks gorgeous!! 
I have fallen in love with Joy the Baker and Shutterbean!
Best new addition to the new world I have discovered in PodCasts that have me hooked!
I think these ladies are simply the greatest women on the planet no joke and I would LOVE to have my hands on that cookbook.
I love those muffins they look like the best ones ever!
This recipe is perfect timing as blueberries are on sale this week. I bake according to what is on sale for the week. I hope Joy had the big opening day as she deserves.
Joy is incredibly, and I swoon to thing of the contents of this cookbook. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
those look great!
Total yum, will have to try it for my mom…she loooves blueberries.
Food blogs are my love language and yours and Joys are at the top of the pile. My mornings will be made better with these divine looking muffins, my Fridays are made better with your lists, my work days go by faster with yours and Joys podcasts and my Amazon wish list has been made better with the Joy the Baker cookbook. Thanks for this post. Real talk.
OMG! I’m drooling over these!!!
Great give away.
You don’t even know. This post made my whole day! Real talk. I have my JTB cookbook and I love, LOVE, LOVE it, but I’d also love to give one to a friend! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. I just adore the two of you and look forward to your podcasts each and every week. Thanks again!
Just purchased one for my friend for their birthday! Scoring one for myself would just be so…karmic….idk did I just cancel it out by asking for one?
Whatevs! Joy & Tracy are awesome!
I have a thing for browned butter, for muffins and for friendship. Love you and Joy!
this sounds fantastic! i’m making them this weekend.
Dang those muffins look YUM, must make them as soon as I can manage. Love blueberries to bad they are so expensive over here!
For about a month I’ve been hooked on your blog, ever since I stumbled on to it. I love the way you present it and the photos… The kitchen has not seen me this much in years or… ever! How great it would be to be part of the competition and magically own a Joy the Baker cookbook, but since I live in Germany I guess I’ll miss out, duh. The blueberries are in the kitchen waiting for the brown butter dough.
Those muffins look absolutely amaaaaazing!!!
I’d like a copy please! I love her recipes and need something for her to sign when she visits Seattle!
I would love to check out Joy’s cookbook!
These look so good. I would love to have Joy’s cookbook!
This is the 3rd time today I have seen this cook book mentioned within the various blogs I read!! With so many great food writers praising this book I know it must be good!!
Oh la la! I’ll have to try making these.
Full faith that cookbook and me would make great friends
I’m sad to say I’ve been reading yours and Joy’s blogs and have never made anything with browned butter. What is wrong with me? I don’t know. Wait, was that rhetorical? Anyway… would love a copy of the cookbook so I can finally start browning me some butter!
I love you and Joy’s friendship too. It gets me through my week. And these do look like the best blueberry muffins ever. I can’t wait to get this book in my hands!!!
I love your friendship bracelet!
stellar giveaway too!
YES please!
great first pick from joy’s cookbook–thanks for sharing!
I have made these (from Joy’s website) and they are AMAZING!!!!! Definitely the best blueberry muffins I have ever had. I would love a copy of Joy’s cook book
I’m SO ANNOYED because for some reason there was a Barnes/Noble glitch and my copy still hasn’t shipped. And I was so excited to read it the day it came out! I’m so glad you shared this recipe, at least now I feel like I’m getting my “fix” until my copy arrives!
Awesome! I would love to win a copy. I listen to your podcasts when I run and sometimes find myself talking back to you guys (once I stop laughing). I think I need to call in and leave a message, soon! Thanks for sharing her cookbook with us!!
Ps. Those muffins look bomb!!
oooooh man! I want those muffins AND the cookbook, obvi.
Wow…these muffins look amazing! My boyfriend is a blueberry muffin connoisseur so I’ll have to make this recipe for him. And of course I’d love to have a copy of Joy’s cookbook!
love joy the baker! love tracyshutterbean! love this book! and these muffins look awesome!
OMG these muffins look amazing. These look so good that I would totally dominate them and eat more than just the tops! Crumbled topping, how you call my name…
Happy Leap Day!
I just found your website, and I’m hooked! Love your photography and step-by-step recipes. You may single-handedly get me to finally try Pinterest because I have too many of your recipes bookmarked. Would love to try some of Joy’s recipes!
Love the photos, the muffins look amazing! I also like the crumbled topping!
YAY!!! Pick me, pick me.
What a heartwarming post… Both visually appealing and sentamental… Loved it!
Thanks to you both for all the talent you share with the world!!
xo,
Lynnie
These look fantastic!
You and Joy are the cutest and even though I’m not that talented in the kitchen area…I’m hoping Joy’s book can inspire me to uncover my inner baker!
i went to buy Joy’s book today and they didn’t have it. I am dying for a copy especially after seeing these muffins. I am a brown butter addict.
I soooooooo wanna make those muffins!
DUDE I LOVE JOY! Through her, I found you! And you two together crack me up, so digging the podcasts! CHEERS TO JOY and her new book!
I want it. I’m ashamed to say I don’t have it yet. Feb 28th seemed so far away and now it’s come and gone. I’m gonna order it tonight and I’ll share my winnings with a friend.
Huzzah for browned butter in everything! I can’t wait to attend Joy’s book-signing in Seattle!
please please please please please??!?!?!
I got her book in the mail yesterday and I literally squeeled out loud. I just sat down and read most of it (I’m weird and love reading cookbooks) and I was just thinking about making these muffins! THey look so amazing!
Yes yes I’d love a copy!!! Please
these look so delicious – Joy’s cookbook was the #1 item on my birthday list but alas my whole family decided to get me other things (of course also appreciated) SO GLAD it’s finally out. enjoy the muffins
I love that Casey tracked the best blueberry muffins around his office, totally something I would do! These look so good!
I was actually just reading Pioneers woman’s praise of Joys cookbook and I went as far as to put it in my cart in Amazon then i got derailed at work with the kids :p would love to own a copy!
I got her cookbook today and this recipe is the first one I am going to make as well!! Your husband and my fiance have one thing in common, they LOVE blueberry muffins!! My guy had surgery today so I am going to make these to, hopefully, make him feel better!
O.M.G. i want one of those muffins in my mouth hole right now!!! and i also want the cookbook!!! hook me up
Awww this post is all kinds of awesome! I’m still in college (transitioning to law school) and every thursday evening with the week finally winding down I take some downtime to listen to the Joy the Baker podcast while trying to whip up a recipe from one of your sites! Love the fact that you and Joy are real women working hard and loving life while inspiring others, very few can pull that off! Keep it up – so proud of Joy’s Book and how sincere your support is! Again, so inspiring!
Hi Tracy. Those muffins look DIIIVINE! I was planning to buy her cookbook through Amazon anyway. If I won this giveaway, that would be great. If I don’t, I’ll buy one! I absolutely love your friendship (and podcast) with Joy

I want that cookbook so bad!!! But being a poor college student I have been trying to resist, so free would be fantastic.
I love that we as readers and listeners get to be “in” on your friendship with Joy. You guys are the real deal and it makes your content so engaging and fun. Keep up the good work!
I would love a copy of Joy’s cookbook! If I don’t win I will surely be ordering one.
They look amazing! Yum! Especially the crumb on top.
Woaah, definitely going to try this recipe for Sunday brunch. A shame the Joy the Baker cookbook won’t be available for purchase in Sweden in a long time, really looking forward to it! (Is it Sunday today? I definitely think so)

I absolutely adore both yours and Joy’s blogs and get inspired by so many wonderful ideas and delicious recipes! I can’t wait to get my hands on that cookbook. Thanks!
love love love you blog, can not wait to try this recipe.
http://dandelionsandkisses.blogspot.com/
you had me at brown butter.
and joy.
and those yellow polka-dotted plates.
so, pretty much, you had me at hello.
Can’t say that I’ve ever anticipated a cookbook more than this one. I’m dying that I still haven’t received mine yet though I pre-ordered as soon as word got out! Hope mine arrives before the signing in Huntington Beach this Saturday, but I would love another copy for my daughter or for a special friend.
The cookbook looks amazing, what a labour of love.
i would love to get that cookbook!!
looks like an awesome cookboook.
I love all Joy’s recipes and I am definitely wanting a copy of her cookbook. You have to support the blogging community. I have bought all of Heidi’s books and I plan on buying Joy’s as well as Deb’s from the Smitten Kitchen. I have a best friend who is a huge sweet tooth so I am going to pick her up a copy as well.
I love when cookbooks get baptized with food. It makes them looked loved and used. I have had this happen to a few library cookbooks though, oops!
Congratulations on these amazing & mouthwatering muffins and to Joy on her cookbook.
xo, Jackie
Tracy you’re so cute and sweet: ) I’m glad I found you through the podcast!
I’d love to win the book so I can give it to my sister-in-law and spread the JOY (ha ha) around.
god, I want to win a cookbook so bad!! love you guys, I’ve been catching up on back episodes of the podcast so this is very exciting.
Love you and Joy individually, together you are so super funny. My husband and I listen to your podcast every week and laugh laugh laugh!
Joy’s cookbook would totally cement us all as friends!
Beth
xoxo
Oh, I would LOVE this cookbook! I’m kind of smitten with Joy, and have been following her on her blog for a while now.
These muffins look amazing! I can’t wait to try them and I’m looking forward to seeing what wonderful recipes Joy has in her new cookbook!
I’ve been a silent admirer of Joy for awhile and once you guys started podcasting I became a huge fan of yours too! You’re both amazing!
I can not wait to get my hands on this cookbook!!!
It would be super cool to get a copy! Congrats to Joy and yay for your friendship!
These look fantastic! I need a copy of Joy’s cookbook so I can have her sign it when she’s in Chicago!
I’ve never heard of brown butter. It sounds delish.
Your friendship moves me. It’s so good to know that there are special people around the world fighting to support one another. It’s a rare and precious thing. You are both wonderful
I am so happy for Joy! I found you, Tracy, by way of the podcast, by way of Joy, and am a loyal follower of your blog now too
So excited that my bookbook is on its way but i’d love to give one to my sister! I know she’d die over the recipes!!
Oh I LOVE LOVE LOVE baking!! My sister has been raving over your blog for years now! I’d love to have your cookbook!
they taste like caramel! wow!!! thanks for the giveaway!
I love the friendship you two have. I crack up on a weekly basis listening to you lovely ladies. And if you do come to Seattle to Joy’s book signing, I think I might die of excitement. Seriously. Please come to Seattle?
I love blueberry muffins. My mom used to make them all the time while I was growing up. I remember once when she forgot the sugar. They were very tart, but we still ate them all!
A Joy the Baker cookbook that’s been in Shutterbean’s kitchen? I need that book!
This recipe looks awesome and the cookbook will be perfectly fabulous! I would love to win it, if not I will be buying one as soon as I can!
I have always had a thing for all kinds of muffins, so I will definitely give this recipe a try. I would love to hear the story of how you and Joy met sometime in the podcast. I stumbled on Joy’s blog several months ago and have since been following all things Joy and Tracy. (Even though I’m “over the hill” as far as Joy is concerned.)… I’m just sayin.
Whoa. I could go for an afternoon muffin break for realz.
would LOVE a copy of the cookbook! these muffins look awesome and I am constantly reading Joy’s blog
I would love Joy’s cookbook! These muffins look crazy good.
I’m so excited for the book! Also, I always use salted butter… woops?
Such a great ode to friendship that fits so well with February 24th’s link to “Friends Lift You Higher”!
Joy is the best! Those muffins look amazing.
They look so good!
i love both your’s and joy’s website and check both of them for updates everyday, so i would love her cookbook!
Tracy, I am also a fan of Joy, and I love her sense of humor and all her recipes make me want to bake and be fancy. I wandered over here after listening to a few of your podcasts which I love to put on in the background while I sew or bake because it’s like there are two funny friends in my apartment. Love it.
I would also love her cookbook. It has been on my amazon wishlist for awhile!
I LOVE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!!!!! I am totally in agreement with your hubby and would follow his site. I have tried many things from both of you with AWESOME yummy success. I would love this cookbook.
Love this and Joy! I hope to have her cookbook one day soon.
Can’t wait to attend Joy’s book signing in Portland! Both of you ladies are inspirational. Thanks for sharing life and food in the way that you do.
Hot putter!
I love cookbooks. I love these muffins and really wanna make em right this minute. It’s 9:00pm.
These look awesome! I love your site, your recipes and wisdom are beautiful!!
Pick Me! I’d love to get the Joy the Baker Cookbook. She is a very talented woman!
I’d love to get my hands on that book!
I just love your site! I’ve tried about a dozen of your and Joy’s recipes so far and they have all been a success! When will you put out your book?! Love the friendship you share with Joy. You two must have such a great time together.
You two are literally the highlight of my work week. Listening to your podcasts gets me through my Thursdays like nothing else (not even coffee!). Needless to say, I’m a huge fan of both you and Joy and I would love to have a copy of her cookbook!
P.S. When will we be hearing about a Shutterbean cookbook? Sooner than later I hope!
These look fantastic! Blueberries are best in muffin form.
her book looks amazing! these muffins seem like they’re to die for!
I love reading about people’s friendships. And blueberry muffins too, of course.
When I listen to the podcast, I think of you and Joy as me and my best friend, Melissa. For a girls’ weekend, we will be going to NYC for Joy’s book signing at the end of the month and I’d love to give her a copy of the book. Thanks for the chance to win.. and thanks for the great podcast and great recipes!
Oh my heavens those muffins look insane. I have a sincere love the muffins of blurberries yummmmm
Ooh I’ll have to try these, I’m a sucker for blueberry muffins but it’s SO hard to find a good one that isn’t dense or dry.
Ps. I hope to be cooking something from YOUR very own cookbook one day!
I love your blog and all the delicious food!
Kristin
My goodness these sound amazing ! I will definetly be making these this weekend !!!
Thanks for sharing
Xoxo
puuuuuuuuh-leeeeze send me this book. i’m on a uber-toit (like a tiger) budget and would absolutely love to spend all the tiny extra change i have on ingredients to make yummy joy-inspired food.
if not, i’ll still totes love you because you sound like winona and, even if you disagree, always will.
(BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE!)

ah man, i already ordered it but i’d love another copy to give to a stranger. or my mom. but hey, you can just send me one of those muffins and i think i’d be a-ok.
Wow, I can’t wait to try these!
I would love a copy! I’ve been listening to yours and Joy’s podcasts for the last week or so, just catching up from the very beginning since I had never checked them out before. I listen to them as I take my dog for walks around the neighborhood, as I cook dinner (I know you wouldn’t listen while cooking!) and since my husband has had to work late this week, I’ve been listening to you gals while I eat dinner. It feels just like having dinner with my girlfriends! I just laugh hysterically at all of your silly voices, random musings and funnily-pronounced words, and I love that I understood all of your inside jokes from this post. Thanks for YOUR great recipes too, Tracy from Shutterbean!
I would totally love another copy of joy’s book. My mom would love it when I go away to college!
These look great! These will be made ASAP!
Please please please? Also, your blog is a new favorite.
I can’t get blueberry muffins out of my head since I saw this!!!!!!!!!
Mmm…brown butter! After seeing this recipe I can’t wait to see the entire cookbook!
I can’t wait to try these! I haven’t bought my copy of Joy’s book yet, so pick me!!
brown butter makes everything better!
This looks delish. Can’t wait to start trying some of these recipes!
Yay for a great giveaway! Thank you!
Joy’s cookbook is stunning and I’ve always enjoyed baking her recipes from her site, so I would love to add her book to my repertoire!
Oh I would love the book!! The muffins looks so good, brown butter should be a part of everything!
I’m making these and the brussels sprout salad because they both look so freaking delicious. I feel like the sprouts will make me feel better about myself after eating all of the muffins.
I also hate the word moist… And the word juicy…
Also, I already have the cookbook and was randomly commenting on your funny Joy commentary… Hence why I seem late to the party
Blueberry muffins are one of those things that I will stop whatever I’m doing to focus on. Is there anything as a bad blueberry muffin? I will eat them all – store bought and plastic wrapped, to super fresh. Gimme! Gimme! I bookmarked this, plan on making them soon.
Thanks!
Found it! Tracy, your site looks pretty and truly exiting! Glad you have a ‘pin it’ button!
thanks for the recipe — made it for a farewell for one of my dearest mentors… and it was a big hit!!!
Gotta grab a copy of Joy The Baker cookbook too… Just wondering, who’s the lucky winner?
I announced it in one of my I love lists, Fridays. Bailey won!
