The Best Blueberry Muffins Recipes

THE BEST EASY JUMBO BLUEBERRY MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cream together the butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until it becomes light and fluffy, preferably in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer.
• Add in the eggs, one by one, making sure you beat well after each addition.
• Stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and buttermilk and mix well to combine.
• Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into to the sugar, buttermilk, butter, and eggs. Using a sifter will help to reduce clumping and prevent you from overworking muffins.
• In a small bowl, lightly mash/smush about half of the blueberries with the back of a spoon (sort of like muddling mint in a drink) and then stir into the batter.
• Fold in the remaining blueberries. We also like to save a couple to drop right on the tops of the muffins.
• Line a 6 cup jumbo muffin tin or 12 cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Fill with batter - leave 1/3 muffin tin/liner for muffins to rise above.
• Sprinkle the 3 teaspoons sanding sugar over the tops of the muffins, reduce oven heat to 375, and bake at 375 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.
• Optional: Reserve sanding sugar until end of cooking. In final 10 minutes of baking, brush tops of muffin with melted butter. Top with sanding sugar. Continue baking until cooked until toothpick inserted comes out completely clean.
• Remove muffins from tin and cool at least 30 minutes.
• Enjoy!

• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix together 1 3/4 cup of the flour and baking powder. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Crush 1/4 of the blueberries, and stir into the batter. Mix the rest of the whole blueberries with the remaining 1/4 cup of the flour, and fold into the batter. Scoop into muffin cups. Sprinkle tops lightly with sugar.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, and tops spring back when lightly tapped.

BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and put an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spray the pan and the liners with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and almond extract. (The batter may look a little grainy -- that's okay).
• Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating on low speed to combine. The batter will be very thick. Add the blueberries to the batter and fold gently with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin (an ice-cream scoop with a wire scraper works well here); they will be very full. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly on top of the muffins.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin to free it from the pan if necessary (the blueberries can stick), then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and add enough milk to reach the 1-cup mark. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
• To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners. Grease/line a second pan with 2 liners because this recipe yields about 14 muffins. Set aside.
• Mix all of the topping ingredients together. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients and beat until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the blueberries.
• Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Spoon brown sugar topping on each, gently pressing it down into the surface so it sticks. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 23-25 minutes, give or take. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
• Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

BEST EVER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• Add the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder to a bowl and whisk together to combine.
• Add the blueberries and lemon zest and stir them gently into the flour mixture. Adding the blueberries now will prevent them from bleeding into the muffin batter (so they won't turn the batter purple) and it will also help the blueberries not to sink to the bottom of the muffins as they bake.
• Measure the milk into a 2-cup size liquid measuring cup.
• Add the egg, vanilla and vegetable oil and whisk them together with a fork.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir everything together gently just until combined with a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula - just until no streaks of flour remain.
• Portion the batter into the 12 muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 to 3/4 full. This recipe makes between 12 and 16 muffins, depending on the size of your pan.
• Top each muffin with a couple extra fresh blueberries, if desired (this step is optional, but it makes for a beautiful presentation).
• Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into one of the muffins comes out clean.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375º. Grease 12 regular muffin cups, including the area between each cup. I grease my cupcake liners too.
• In a medium bowl, beat butter until creamy. Beat in the sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla, baking powder, and salt.
• Mix mashed berries into batter.
• Fold in half the flour with a spatula, then half the milk. Add the remaining flour and milk. Fold in remaining blueberries.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
• Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
• Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.
