These blueberry muffins have a tender crumb and are filled with blueberries in every bite. Topped with a sprinkle of sugar, they’re impossible to resist.
This is an old recipe from the department store Jordan Marsh, which had a bakery famous for its blueberry muffins. While the department store is long gone, the blueberry muffin recipe is still here and worth making!
- Flavor: These blueberry muffins are sweet and buttery with a delicious blueberry flavor.
- Difficulty: This recipe is easy and perfect for kids and beginners.
- Preparation: It’s important that the batter is mixed just until moistened. Overmixing makes dense muffins.
- Technique: Starting muffins at a high temperature and reducing the temperature for baking makes them nice and fluffy.
- Ingredient note: Frozen blueberries can be used right from frozen but they may discolor the batter slightly.
Ingredients For Blueberry Muffins
- Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe. There is no need to thaw frozen blueberries, although they may color the batter slightly.
- Butter: Use unsalted butter and add your own salt for the perfect flavor.
- Flour: I use all-purpose flour in this recipe, other varieties of flour have not been tested in this recipe.
- Baking powder: Baking powder helps the muffins rise and become fluffy.
- Sugar: Sugar sweetens the muffins, but it also creates a tender crumb.
- Eggs: Ensure the eggs are at room temperature to help them incorporate better. Place them in warm water for a few minutes to quickly bring them to room temperature.
Variations
- Add chopped walnuts, almonds, or pecans for a little extra crunch.
- Skip the extract and add a teaspoon of lemon zest or orange zest.
How to Make Blueberry Muffins
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl (recipe below).
- Cream butter & sugar and add remaining wet ingredients. Fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly into the lined muffin tin. Bake.
Pro Tip: Toss fresh blueberries with a bit of flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Storage & Freezing
Cooled blueberry muffins can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container or zippered bag.
Cool completely before freezing and store them in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 4 months.
