Lenten Blueberry Walnut Muffins


More then once I have published here the recipe for my blueberry muffins.  They're back for the season of Lent. 

As you probably already know Lent is a solemn religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends approximately six weeks later, before Easter Sunday. 

Many practitioners of the Christian faith commit to fasting and/or foregoing certain luxuries to replicate Jesus' sacrifice in his forty-day journey in the desert.  Others commit to daily devotions, prayer and contemplation. 

You're probably wondering what makes these muffins appropriate for Lent.  They don't look particularly sacrificial - they actually appear rather decadent.  The answer is obvious - if you give up dessert during Lent don't eat the muffins.  Reserve them for breakfast.  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Recipe here.
