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 sour cream 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
- Can I use Frozen Blueberries? Yes you can – see above where I talk about blueberries.
- What blueberries to use in Blueberry muffins? I like using wild blueberries (small ones) but you can use regular too.
- Do these really taste like Starbucks Copycat Muffins? Yes they do – soft and fluffy and perfect – without the cost!
- 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.

so delicious! super soft and sweet- made it into a loaf and baked for about 55 minutes since I don’t have cupcake tins, and it turned out quite well. definitely will make again.
I mean, did you have to write out your entire life story for this recipe.
No, although I’d hope my life story would be longer. You’re welcome for the FREE recipe and the FREE Jump to recipe button.
Wow Brad… way to be a dick for no reason.
Dorothy, I loved the story, the recipe (huge hit with my family – I added lemon zest and doubled the recipe and didn’t double the topping).
The jump to the recipe was a lovely touch too. Keep being amazing and making incredible food.
Thank you!!
These are really good, but the batter is good for about 15 cupcake size muffins, mine baked for about 25 min. Perfect for breakfast !
these muffins are unreal! they taste exactly like the Starbucks ones and they’re pretty easy to whip up. I found the recipe made WAY too much topping but I just saved it for another batch of muffins.
Love this recipe will make again
I had never made homemade blueberry muffins before, but a neighbor gave us a ton of fresh blueberries. This recipe was the one I chose from Pinterest and I’m so glad I did. They were the best muffins I’ve ever eaten! Thank you.
I tried posting before but it did not happen. I will again. The recipe was easy to make and the muffins were absolutely delicious. However, no way it would make 24 muffins. I think that it must have been a misprint. I would make these again
These blueberry muffins are a family favorite and highly requested breakfast treat. Wonderful recipe! I do add extra berries just because…blueberries!! And the tasty topping really is the best bite. My family loves them best as jumbo size. I get 12 jumbo from this recipe. I also bake them in the silicone baking cups so they pop right out. Have also used parchment paper lining and that is easily removable as well.
I consider myself a Starbucks blueberry muffin expert. I love them. This is the best recipe I have tried. The only adjustments I made was to put in cinnamon in both the topping and he muffin batter. Only because I like cinnamon. I did have to cook a little longer for my oven. Maybe 25 minutes. Thank you for such a great recipe!!!
Would I change anything to make these jumbo muffins??
No they’ll just make less, and probably take longer to bake.
