Grease eighteen 2-1/2-inch muffin cups or line with paper bake cups.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, the 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; set aside.

In another mixing bowl, beat eggs. Stir in milk, the 1/3 cup melted butter or margarine, and vanilla. Add all at once to dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in blueberries.
