My Muffin Tops

My blueberry muffin baking endeavor started off fine this morning. I had my fresh blueberries. . .


And I started to reduce them to make some jam. . . (This is a Cook's Illustrated recipe, so it's involved.)



And then I don't know what happened. Maybe it was because I shouldn't bake when I'm tired, or maybe I shouldn't bake when I'm sad. Maybe it was the tiny bit of water on the fresh blueberries I added, or maybe I need to replace my baking powder. One thing is for sure: I took the instruction "batter should completely fill cups and mound slightly" to the extreme.

This is what I got.


Siamese-twin looking blueberry muffins.

At least they're delicious.
