Ingredients for Easy Blueberry Muffin Recipe

There is nothing quite like a warm, homemade blueberry muffin in the morning. You too can make bakery-style blueberry muffins, that are even better, right at home with just a few ingredients.

To make these homemade blueberry muffins you will need:

  • butter– I prefer to use unsalted butter when baking
  • sugar
  • eggs– make sure they are at room temperature
  • sour cream– bring to room temperature before mixing in, Greek yogurt can be substituted.
  • vanilla– a good Mexican vanilla will add so much flavor
  • flour
  • salt
  • baking soda
  • blueberries– this recipe calls for fresh blueberries, but frozen blueberries can be used as well, just keep them frozen until you mix them into the batter to avoid adding more liquid to the batter.

Tips for making the Best Blueberry Muffins

To make moist, homemade blueberry muffins, start by creaming together the sugar and butter, until it is fluffy and well combined.

Next, add the egg, sour cream, and vanilla. Make sure these ingredients are at room temperature before mixing them into the muffin batter. Beat them together with the butter and sugar until combined, about 2 minutes.

Use an electric mixer or stand mixer to combine the wet ingredients (butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla) until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Next, sift in the dry ingredients. I like to easily do this by placing a mesh strainer over the top of the mixing bowl, then add in the dry ingredients and gently tap the side of the strainer to sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

Mix in the dry ingredients until combined, being sure to scrap down the sides of the bowl while mixing to make sure everything is incorporated.

Next, add the blueberries to the batter. Use a spatula to gently fold the batter around the blueberries and to get them mixed throughout the batter.

Scoop the blueberry muffin batter into a muffin tin that has been lined with liners. If you don’t have liners, you can grease the muffin tin with cooking spray of butter to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.

I like to use a large cookie scoop to get the batter into the muffin tin, you can also use two large spoons or even a small measuring cup.

Fill the muffin tin about 3/4 of the way full with blueberry muffin batter, the muffins will grow when baked.

If desired, before baking, add a brown sugar crumble topping. This adds a delicious, sugary crunch to every bite of the blueberry muffin, but is optional and these muffins are still incredibly delicious without it.

How long to bake Blueberry Muffins

Place the prepared blueberry muffins into a 375º F oven. Bake the muffins for 25-30 minutes, until they are golden on top and cooked through.

Test the doneness of the muffins by poking a toothpick into the center, if it comes out without any wet dough on it, they are done.
