🥘 Ingredients

Flour- You will need to use all purpose flour for the base and gluten structure in these muffins.

Baking soda- This is a leavening agent that will help the muffins to rise nicely as they bake.

Salt- This is a natural flavor enhancer.

Sugar- Use granualted sugar for added sweetness and for structure improvement as sugar helps to keep muffins soft.

Milk- Adding in milk will help to moisten the batter and add richness to the fats. You can use whole milk, low-fat milk, dairy milk, or even buttermilk if desired.

Vegetable oil- For added moisture, use vegetable oil, canola oil, melted butter, or coconut oil as the fats in this recipe.

Vanilla- This is another flavor enhancer.

Apple cider vinegar- This will react with the baking soda to help leaven the muffins and get a good texture.

Blueberries- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, depending on what you have on hand.

Your muffins will be finished when a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.

Blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. I like to buy fresh berries when they're on sale and then store them in the freezer until I'm ready to bake with them.

🍴 Recipe Tips

Pay attention to the fill line

Please note that you ONLY want to fill these muffins ½ way full. If you fill them ¾ full or higher, they may not cook properly.

The tops of these muffins will become golden and look ready to eat, but the centers will be wet, and as a result, the muffins will collapse as they cool, leaving you an indented cupcake.

Make sure to test the doneness with a toothpick before removing them from the oven to make sure that they are fully finished. The muffins are finished cooking when a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean or with just a few crumbs.

👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

You can keep your blueberry muffins stored in an airtight container or gallon-sized Ziploc bag at room temperature. Do not store the muffins until after they have cooled completely to avoid creating condensation within the bag, as this may shorten the lifespan.

Room Temp

If stored in an airtight container at room temperature, you can expect your muffins to last about a day or two. You can extend the shelf life to one week if you keep them stored in the same manner but in the fridge.

Freezer

Freezing these fluffy blueberry muffins is really easy and can be a great way to enjoy your favorite muffin months later. Once the muffins have cooled completely, place the blueberry muffins in an airtight container or in a Ziploc baggie for up to 2 months.

💭 FAQs

Why are these muffins cooked at a high temperature?

One is the higher baking temperature. Cooking our muffins at a higher temperature will cause them to puff up more as they bake and give you a higher dome at the top so that they don't sink or fall flat.

Why are my muffins gummy?

When the gluten in the flour is overworked, it will result in a heavier and gummier texture, and no one wants a rubbery blueberry muffin. The flour is added last and added gently until just mixed in so that it doesn't overwork the gluten.

What if my muffins get too browned on top?

If you feel your muffins are turning out too dark when baking, but still arent finished cooking, you can gently lay a piece of foil over the top of the muffins to help shield them from browning any further.
