Amazing Blueberry Muffins-Make your own mix

A few years ago I found this recipe in the Taste of Home Magazine.  I tried it and I have loved it.  It is easy to make and a great way to start the day.  I have a couple of muffin recipes that I make pretty often, for those recipes I make my own mixes.  Let's be honest some morning measuring flour and sugar are beyond me, but I can dump a mix into a bowl and stir.  I usually use frozen blueberries for this recipe but Freeze Dried Blueberries that have been rehydrated in hot water work well too.
