In a large bowl, combine flour, polenta, sugar, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. In a separate bowl, beat together oil, vanilla and egg. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients alternating with the buttermilk just until moistened. Gently fold in the blueberries. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Serve warm.
Excellent recipe, it worked perfectly, producing light, spongy muffins. I made three variations, dark chocolate, milk chocolate and blueberry. All of them worked, but since I preferred the milk chocolate best I will probably make the muffins sweeter next time.
Very tasty and not overly sweet. I used thawed and drained blueberries. Texture very good. Moist but not mushy. I cooled them upside down in case they would be prone to breaking but the corn meal held its shape without crumbling. Still good the next day. I will definitely make this recipe often!
