1. Prep the Oven & Pan

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.

4. Combine Wet & Dry

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix—a few lumps are okay!

5. Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula, being careful not to crush them.

6. Fill the Muffin Cups

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

7. Add Topping (Optional)

Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the muffins for a crunchy, sweet topping.

8. Bake

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool & Enjoy

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.


Pro Tips for Perfect Blueberry Muffins

Coat Blueberries in Flour – Tossing the berries in 1 tablespoon of flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
Don’t Overmix – Overmixing makes muffins dense instead of light and fluffy.
Use Buttermilk – It adds moisture and tenderness to the muffins.
Try a Streusel Topping – Mix 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon butter for a crumbly topping.


How to Serve Blueberry Muffins

  • Warm with butter or honey for a comforting treat.
  • Drizzle with lemon glaze for extra sweetness.
  • Pair with coffee or tea for the perfect breakfast combo.

Storage & Freezing Tips

🔹 Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
🔹 Refrigerate: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, but bring to room temperature before serving.
🔹 Freeze: Wrap muffins individually and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
