The cousins were over during harvest this week and I decided to whip up a snack of blueberry muffins. I felt like baking as the weather has cooled in Ohio and this quick and easy blueberry muffin recipe was the perfect chance to make something special without taking up too much time. (I did have 5 kids 11 and under in my home.)
Easy Step by Step Recipe Directions
- Line a muffin pan with 10 paper muffin cups and preheat oven to 400˚ F.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients and then pour over the dry ingredients and stir until just blended.
- Add the blueberries and fold them in.
- Divide batter evenly into the muffin cups. Bake 18 – 22 minutes or until golden.
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
For this recipe, I chose to use fresh blueberries. I gently folded them in to keep them from bursting into the batter. However, you can use frozen blueberries. Add about 2-3 minutes to your bake time when using frozen berries.
Adaptations
You can use other fresh berries with this base batter recipe. Simply replace the blueberries with the same quantity of fresh cranberries, raspberries, or even apricots.

Comments & Reviews
By far my favorite way to make muffins! Simple, common ingredients, taste great! I’ve made these at least a dozen times now and never have any problems with the finished result, I always use frozen mixed berries since I buy them in bulk and they’re just great with this recipe. I do like to add a lil bit of vanilla for fun, but it’s certainly not needed.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
