Scoop the muffin batter into the muffin tins. Fill each muffin tin until just full, or pretty close to the top of the muffin tin.
Spoon 1 teaspoon of the cooked blueberry mixture into each muffin tin. Use the prongs of a fork or a chopstick to swirl the blueberry mixture into each muffin tin.
Bake for 16-20 minutes. (Mine baked for 16 minutes).
Remove from oven and let the muffins cool for 3-5 minutes and then remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
