My mom's recipe for blueberry muffins has 2 cups of flour, and 2 Tbsp sugar, with no other sweet ingredients, and no sugar on top. They are delicious. I find commercial muffins are generally way too sweet for my taste, and think of them as "unfrosted cupcakes," rather than muffins. Looking through all my other muffin recipes (I have a lot), none we like and continue to use have more than 3/4 cup total sweeteners.
