Notes
- High temperature: Baking at a higher temperature helps create tall, domed muffins instead of flat tops.
- Mix gently: Overmixing develops gluten and can make muffins gummy or dense.
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries both work. If using frozen, do not thaw before adding.
- Freezing: Cool completely, then freeze muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. Muffins taste best fresh.
