Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (4g) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (143g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ¼ cup (59ml) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (236ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons (10ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (64g) sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (9oz) fresh or frozen blueberries
- Sanding sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry fresh blueberries, and coat the blueberries in 2-3 tablespoons of flour. If using frozen blueberries, skip this step. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Set aside
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy then add oil, butter, buttermilk, vanilla and sour cream and beat until well combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients and beat just until the flour starts to incorporate. Fold in the blueberries. with a spatula and finish mixing the batter by hand.
- Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 6 paper liners, altering them with an empty space in between. Use a large cookie scoop to fill muffin liners to the very top, and add 1 tablespoon of batter on top of that. Add a few blueberries on top and sanding sugar.
- Bake both trays in the middle rack of the oven for 16-20 minutes. Test the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the muffins, the toothpick should come out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan.
Notes
- Fresh vs Frozen berries: When baking with fresh blueberries, toss them in 2-3 tablespoons of flour before adding them to the batter. You do not need to do this with frozen blueberries.
- To loosen the edges from the pan, gently run a knife around the edge of the muffin between the muffin top and the pan.
- Smaller muffins- This makes 12 large muffins. If you’d like smaller muffins, simply full the pan 3/4 full and reduce the baking time to 15-18 minutes. You’ll probably get 14-15 muffins.
- Filling the pan The muffins needs room to expand while they are baking, so filling every other cavity allows space for the muffins to rise. There’s a reference photo in the blog post.
Storing
- To Store. These blueberry muffins are at their freshest within 2 days of baking. Let the muffins cool completely and then store the muffins airtight at room temperature. I like to line the bottom of the container with a paper towel to help absorb any excess moisture.
- Freeze. Baked muffins can be frozen in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Thaw to room temperature prior to eating. I recommend freezing muffins in a single layer for best results.
