Overview: How To Make Blueberry Muffin?

These muffins are perfect for a summer breakfast or snack, filled with bursts of fresh blueberries and topped with a sweet, crumbly topping.

To start, preheat your oven and prepare your muffin tin. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate cup, combine the wet ingredients: vegetable oil, egg, and milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold in the blueberries gently.

Now, let’s make that irresistible crumb topping. Mix together sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared cups, sprinkle with the crumb topping, and bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Tips that Act Wonderful!

Using Frozen Blueberries: Add frozen blueberries directly to the batter without thawing.
Measuring Flour: Fluff the flour in its container, then gently scoop it into your measuring cup until slightly mounded. Level off with a knife for accuracy. For precise measurements, use a scale to measure the flour by weight in grams.
Mini Muffins: For mini muffins, reduce baking time to 9-11 minutes. Keep an eye on them while they bake.
Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick and scoopable, not runny or overly thick like dough. If too runny, add flour a tablespoon at a time until correct. If too thick or dry, add milk a tablespoon at a time until proper consistency.
Coating Blueberries: Toss blueberries with a pinch of flour before folding them into the batter. This helps them stay suspended, ensuring even distribution in the muffins.
Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing will make muffins dense and tough.
Adding Lemon Flavor: A little lemon oil adds a bright flavor to the muffins. If you donâ€™t have lemon oil, a teaspoon of lemon zest works well too.
Freezing Muffins: Make a double batch and freeze the extras. These muffins freeze perfectly. Thaw at room temperature for a couple of hours, or microwave for about 30 seconds for a quick snack or breakfast on the go.

What to Serve with Blueberry Muffin?

Storing These Muffins for Later!

Cooling: Allow the muffins to cool completely at room temperature before storing. This helps prevent condensation, which can make them soggy.
Storing: Place the cooled muffins in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. If you stack them, place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between layers to avoid sticking.
Room Temperature: Store the muffins at room temperature for up to 2 days. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to keep them from drying out.
Refrigerating: For longer storage, place the muffins in the refrigerator. They can stay fresh for up to a week. Reheat them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to enjoy them warm.
Freezing: To keep the muffins for an extended period, freeze them. Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a resealable freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Thawing: When ready to eat, thaw the muffins at room temperature for a couple of hours or warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

These tips will help you enjoy your blueberry muffins fresh, whether you eat them right away or save them for later!

How Do You Keep Blueberries from Sinking in Muffins?

To keep blueberries from sinking in muffins, toss them in a small amount of flour before adding them to the batter. This light coating helps suspend the berries evenly throughout the muffins during baking. Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter just before spooning it into the muffin cups. This simple step ensures you’ll have delicious blueberries in every bite without them sinking to the bottom.

Could I Try This Muffin Recipe with A Different Fruit?

Yes, you can definitely try this blueberry muffin recipe with a different fruit! You can substitute the fresh blueberries with other fruits like raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, or even diced peaches or apples. Just ensure that the fruit you choose is fresh and not too watery, as it may affect the texture of the muffins. Adjust the quantity of fruit as needed to suit your taste preferences, and enjoy experimenting with different flavors!
