Quick and Easy Blueberry Muffins
This recipe makes 6 jumbo or 12 regular-sized muffins. Comes together in less than 10 minutes and way better than store bought. ☺️
Dry Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 lemon (optional but highly recommended)
Wet Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Blueberries
1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon flour (to coat berries)
Topping (Optional)
2 tablespoons sugar or turbinado
A pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Line a jumbo muffin tin with 6 or 12 liners (depending on your chosen muffin tin) or grease generously.
Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest.
In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients into dry.
Gently fold—stop when the batter is just combined.
Fold in the floured blueberries.
Note: Batter should be thick. This helps create a tall bakery-style muffin.
If making jumbo muffins, fill each cup to the very top for a tall, domed muffin. If making regular-sized muffins, fill cups halfway.
Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon mixture on top, if desired.
Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 350°F (don’t open oven) and continue baking 18–22 minutes for jumbo muffins or 12–15 minutes for regular-sized muffins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a rack.
Tips for the Best Muffins
Frozen blueberries work perfectly—don’t thaw.
Overmixing = dense muffins. Fold gently.
Add a cinnamon-streusel topping for a bakery upgrade if desired.
For extra moisture, replace ¼ cup butter with ¼ cup avocado or vegetable oil.
