Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

It’s been an extremely productive season for wild blueberries here in the mountains.  I’ve been out 4 times in the last week!  I’ve stored enough blueberries in the freezer to last us until next summer.  You can substitute raisins for blueberries in this recipe if you like.  Either way, they are one of my favourite muffins.

• 1/2 cup oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
