A Family Recipe: Blueberry Muffins

Here at Canyon we like to see coffee as a punctuation to life’s quietly meaningful moments: reaching for a favorite mug; a morning pause; the aroma drifting across the house; a Saturday in bed; a conversation with an old friend; the daily rituals that become part of our stories.

In that spirit, we are sharing a recipe perfected by Canyon co-founder Casey's mom, Janine, over many years. We're so happy to share this nostalgic recipe with you and hope it adds warmth to your morning ritual.
