Blueberry Muffin Ingredients

These are the ingredients you'll need to make this blueberry muffin recipe:

  • For the topping: white sugar, all-purpose flour, butter, and cinnamon

How Do You Make Blueberry Muffins?

Here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make homemade blueberry muffins:

  1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients in a liquid measuring cup.
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, then fold in the blueberries.
  4. Make the topping.
  5. Pour the batter into a prepared muffin tin and sprinkle with the topping.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until the toothpick comes out clean.

Recipe Tip

If using a 12-cup muffin pan, you will have 4 empty cups. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the empty cup spaces when baking. Muffins tend to burn faster in a pan with empty cups.

How to Store Blueberry Muffins

To store blueberry muffins: Line an airtight container with paper towels, then arrange the muffins in the container in a single layer. Throw in a few saltines to absorb the excess moisture. Close the lid and store at room temperature for up to four days.
