The BEST Blueberry Muffin Recipe

Why I really love this muffin recipe:

• Soft and moist and fluffy
• That streusel on top is perfection
• They bake up perfectly every time – no fail!
• These remind me of Starbucks muffins (without the cost)

In all honesty I’m wasn’t a huge blueberry muffin fan until I created this recipe. It’s SO GOOD and we love them hot, cold, from the freezer – you name it.

There are a few steps but it’s worth every single one!

What you need to make Blueberry Muffins

Let’s talk about a few things you need to make muffins:

Vegetable Oil: instead of using butter I use oil in my muffins. I find that oil keeps the muffins more moist.

Baking Soda: I use baking soda instead of baking powder in this recipe. Because of the other things we are adding the chemical reaction in the oven creates super fluffy muffins.

White Vinegar: component #1 for that chemical reaction. The acid reacts with the baking soda to give it a nice high rise.

Sour Cream: not only does buttermilk give it a nice tang, but it also has acid that helps react with the baking soda.

Sugar: I use granulated sugar in both the crumble and the muffins

All Purpose Flour: this recipe was written using AP flour, be sure to measure it correctly.

Best Blueberries for Muffins

What are the best blueberries for muffins? Your choice:

• Fresh Blueberries: yes you can use fresh!
• Canned Blueberries: be sure to drain and rinse them well
• Frozen Blueberries: that’s what I use – be sure to thaw and drain them well.
• WILD Blueberries: these are my favorite because they are small and teeny tiny. You find them in the freezer section at some grocery stores. My family prefers them, but you can use regular size as well.

How to make Blueberry Muffins

First you need to make the batter:

1. Wet ingredients: Mix the eggs with sugar, oil, extract, and vinegar until smooth.

2. Dry ingredients: add the baking soda, salt, flour and sour cream and mix until thick batter forms.

3. Fold: carefully fold in the blueberries so you don’t crush them.

How to make Streusel for Muffins

1. Dry Ingredients: whisk the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

2. Butter: add softened dice unsalted butter.

3. Stir: use a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.

4. Assemble: fill the muffin liners then top with streusel.

Everyone who tries one of these muffins raves about them. I mean, how could you not?

Freezing Blueberry Muffins

Yes you can FREEZE muffins! I do it all the time. To freeze them, package them in a single layer in an airtight container or gallon size bag. To thaw, leave on the counter. Or just grab one when you need it and it’ll thaw in a few hours – or pop it in the microwave.

Tips

• Because these use baking soda with vinegar for rising you must bake them immediately after mixing. Don’t let the batter sit or they won’t rise properly.
• You can use Greek Yogurt in place of sour cream
• Don’t have vinegar? Use lemon juice instead!
• An ice cream scoop (¼ cup scoop) helps load your muffin liners fast and easy. Same with the streusel – use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop.

FAQ

1. Can I use Frozen Blueberries? Yes you can – see above where I talk about blueberries.
2. What blueberries to use in Blueberry muffins? I like using wild blueberries (small ones) but you can use regular too.
3. Do these really taste like Starbucks Copycat Muffins? Yes they do – soft and fluffy and perfect – without the cost!
4. Can I make mini muffins? How do you make these jumbo muffins? No changes for either, except pan size and baking time. Mini muffins will bake faster, jumbo will take longer.
