Let's get baking! Blueberry muffins made from scratch taste so much better than anything you can buy in the store. Create with simple pantry ingredients coupled with fresh or frozen blueberries.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 Cup sugar
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted
- 1 large egg beaten
- 3/4 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 Cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚ F and line a muffin pan with paper muffin cups.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. There will be lumps. Fold in the blueberries gently.
- Divide batter into 10 muffin cups. Bake at 400˚ F for 18 - 22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool on a cooling rack. Serve warm.
Notes
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.
Store: If you have leftover muffins, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will maintain their flavor and texture for up to 3 days.
Freeze: You can easily freeze blueberry muffins after they've cooled. Simply place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored this way for up to 3 months.
Thaw: When you're ready to enjoy your frozen muffins, let them thaw at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave for a quick treat.
Reheating Instructions: To reheat your muffins, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can warm them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
