The Best blueberry muffin recipe!
I have tried and tried to make a good blueberry muffin recipe and I think we finally figured it out. My kids call this the best blueberry muffin recipe and I agree.
They are so moist and delicious. You will love these easy blueberry muffins..
They are perfect to make a double batch on the weekend and have for quick breakfasts during the week. These are easy blueberry muffins that everyone will come back for more!
You can certainly use what you have on hand but I have found a good pan is the start to a good recipe. I have the Rachael Ray muffin pans here.
This blueberry muffin recipe turns out beautiful! The bright color of the fresh blueberries are gorgeous and yet another reason this is the best blueberry muffin recipe!
Can I use frozen blueberries for muffins?
Yes, you can. I actually prefer to use frozen blueberries because they do not fall apart when you mix them in.
How do you add blueberries to muffins?
I like to freeze my blueberries first so they don’t fall apart when I mix them. You can just buy frozen if you want too and use a spatula or spoon to gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter.
Let’s get started with these Easy Blueberry Muffins!
Ingredients you need:
(Makes 12 regular size muffins)
- 1 1/2 cups (all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for muffin tops
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 to 8 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries (about 1 cup frozen blueberries)
HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS:
- Preheat oven to 400º F (Makes 12 regular size muffins)
- In a large bowl whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. (These are my favorite silicone wisks)
- Use a measuring cup (I use a glass measuring cup) that holds at least 1 cup and add vegetable oil, egg and then fill the cup to the 1-cup line with milk (about 1/3 to a 1/2 cup of milk).
- Add vanilla and whisk until combined.
- Add milk mixture to the bowl with all purpose flour and sugar then use a fork to combine. Do not over mix. (The muffin batter will be pretty thick).
- Add blueberries (I like to freeze my blueberries first so they don’t fall apart when I mix them. You can just buy frozen if you want too) and use a spatula or spoon to gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter.
- Divide the batter between the muffin cups filling about ½ full using your ice cream scoop. I have these at home and I use the biggest one to help filling up the muffin cups easier. (The 3 pack is on sale!)
- Sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick insert comes out clean.
Enjoy!
What pan is needed for blueberry muffins?
You can certainly use what you have on hand but I have found a good pan is the start to a good recipe. I have the Rachael Ray muffin pans here. There are several other options of muffin pans and many are on sale!
Another idea is to use a mini-muffin pan. Mini muffins are fun to eat and another tasty option for breakfast or brunch. Maybe even a snack.
Keep in mind the smaller size will take less time to cook and the total cooking time will need to be adjusted. They are faster to cook and easier to eat.
I love my Wilton mini muffin tins, but for just a few dollars more you can get a silicone pan. These are great because the mini muffins just pop out so much easier.
How to freeze blueberry muffins:
This recipe freezes great! I suggest that you bake them as directed. Allow them to cool and then place them in a freezer bag to freeze.
These will stay good for up to 6 months but they never last that long in my house. You can then pull just one or 2 out if you want and reheat them in the microwave for a delicious and easy breakfast idea.
This is a great recipe to freeze if you have guests coming. You can have homemade muffins to serve.
We also like to freeze the muffins and take them when we are traveling. They are perfect for road trips, vacation and more.
The savings adds up and they are so easy to make and freeze. You will love having them on hand for quick meals. Save time and money!
It is so easy to double or even triple this recipe to make some specifically for the freezer. We do this all the time and having great food in the freezer helps to keep our expenses down.
We are less tempted to grab meals and snacks on the go if we have such easy and delicious food in the freezer. This is the perfect grab and go idea!
How to store blueberry muffins:
You can put the blueberry muffins in an air tight container or a resealable bag. Either will work fine.
Money saving tip:
Buy blueberries when they are in season. Blueberries will be their tastiest and their cheapest around August.
Buy them at their lowest price and then freeze them to save money. Then use those frozen blueberries to make this easy blueberry muffin recipe.
Make sure you download and print our What’s in Season? Calendar of Fruits and Vegetables in Season printable so you know what is on sale and when.
Use a cookie scoop to make blueberry muffins recipe from scratch.
I highly recommend using a cookie scoop to fill the muffin tins. I have these at home and I use the biggest one to help make filling up the muffin cups easier. (The 3 pack is on sale!)
You will thank me later because it saves so much time with this recipe and many others on filling the muffin tins. Plus, they are not expensive. Amazon has some cookie scoops for very cheap.
I bought the three pack, so I can use the smaller two for cookies or meatballs and then the bigger one to fill up these muffins and cupcakes. 
They will get lots of use and you will be glad you bought them.
We really use these frequently for so many recipes. You will be so glad you went ahead and ordered a set!

This was a wonderful recipe. Easy to make. I was worried about the 400 degree temp but I used a very large muffin tin which only made 6 but they turned out wonderfully and baked 20 mins. They taste lovely. Thank you for my nice blueberry muffins!

Great recipe! My daughter is sick, so this was a delicious breakfast treat for her this morning that helped cheer her up!

Hi! I’ve made these a few times and I love them! So easy and so good! My three year old helps me make them and it’s a awesome ?? and yummy! Since I’d love to make these more often, any ideas on substituting applesauce for the sugar? Or just some nutritional info? Also, i used some frozen berry mix with blueberries, cherries and strawberries! It was amazing although not as beautiful looking as just blueberries. Thanks for sharing!

Cherri says
These blueberry muffins are wonderful..devine according to my 18 year old grandson. AND, they are so easy to bake. I just found the recipe a few weeks ago and have made them 3 times. I just made a batch for Christmas morning. I found 6oz pkg of bluberries for a dollar each so I bought six for the feeezer! YAY!
PJKeegs says
I’ve made these several times and they have been a hit each time with family and house guests. As someone else commented, you can make larger muffins if you’re ok with a smaller number. Dusting the blueberries with flour prevents them from sinking. And I find no one minds if a few blueberries break while being folded into the batter. They still look and taste great!
Jen says
I just made these on the weekend and they turned out great! I plan on making these often, the recipe was super easy! I want to try with frozen blueberries next time because they’re easy to always have on hand that way. I also want to try them with chocolate chips! YUM! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

How many mini muffins would this make?
How should I alter bake time/temp for mini muffins?
Carrie says
I haven’t tried it yet, but I think it would make approximately 24 mini muffins. I would reduce the oven temperature to 350 and cook for 15-17 minutes. Thank you!
