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.

Ingredients you need:

(Makes 12 regular size muffins)

• Flour
• Sugar
• Salt
• Baking Powder
• Vegetable Oil
• Egg
• Milk
• Vanilla Extract – You can use almond extract if you prefer.
• Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

How to Make Blueberry Muffins:

• Step 1 – Heat Oven – Preheat oven to 400º F (Makes 12 regular size muffins)
• Step 2 – Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Step 3 – Mix oil, egg and milk – Use a measuring cup (I use a glass measuring cup) that holds at least 1 cup and add vegetable oil, add the egg and then fill the cup to the 1-cup line with milk (about ⅓ to a ½ cup of milk).
• Step 4 – Add in Vanilla – Add vanilla and whisk until combined.
• Step 5 – Mix wet and dry ingredients – Add milk mixture to the bowl with all purpose flour and sugar (the dry ingredients) then use a fork to combine. Do not over mix. (The muffin batter will be pretty thick).
• Step 6 – Stir in Blueberries – 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.
• Step 7 – Divide Batter – Divide the batter between the muffin cups filling about ½ full using your ice cream scoop.

• Step 8 – Top with Sugar – Sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top of each muffin.
• Step 9 – Bake Muffins – Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick insert comes out clean.

How to Store Blueberry Muffins:

You can put the blueberry muffins in an air tight container or a resealable bag. Either will work fine. You can place them in the fridge or leave them on the counter.

These muffins will last about 5 days.

Why are my Muffins Dense and not fluffy?

If you find that your muffins turn up dense, it could be that to much baking powder was added. If your muffins rise and then flatten, that means that the right ingredients were not added.

Make sure you are adding in the fresh ingredients and the muffins will come out dense and fluffy.

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. See more tips on how to freeze blueberry muffins.

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.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Muffins:

• Mixing Ingredients – Once you have combined the wet and dry ingredients make sure to not over mix. You want to mix until the ingredients are combined.
• Blueberries – Gently mix in the blueberries so they do not break. You can also freeze them first or use frozen blueberries to keep them whole.
• Cookie Scoop – We recommend using a cookie scoop to scoop the batter into the muffin pan. This helps to evenly distribute the batter.
• Muffin Pan – Now you can easily use muffin paper cups for your muffins if you want, but we started using these silicone baking muffin pans and we love them. You don’t have to use cupcake liners and the muffins just slide right out without sticking.
• Cooking Time – Cooking time may vary based on your oven and muffin pan. We recommend checking the muffins at 15 minutes but it could take up to 30 minutes to bake.

Recipe Variations for Easy Blueberry Muffin Recipe:

• Blueberries – You can easily use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries to make this recipe.
• Flour – We used All Purpose Flour in this recipe, but you can also use Whole Wheat flour. You can also change the flour to a gluten free flour but it could change the taste and texture of the muffins.
• Change the Sugar – We used granulated sugar in this recipe, but if you are out you can use brown sugar or coconut sugar. Feel free to use a sugar substitute but it could change the overall taste of the muffins.
• Milk – When baking we typically use whole milk as we like the way it taste and keeps the muffins moist. But if you are on a dairy free diet, use oat milk or almond milk.
• Mini Muffins – This recipe would work great baking in a mini muffin tin. We love baking in a mini muffin tin and it would be perfect for serving at a brunch.
• Add a Glaze – These blueberry muffins would taste delicious with a cream cheese glaze.
• Change the Fruit – You can easily change the fruit to something else. Try mixing in cherries, raspberries, chopped peaches or nectarines. The same muffin ingredients is all you need and mix in about 2 cups of your favorite fruit.
• Lemon – For more added flavor add in about a tablespoon of lemon zest. Blueberry lemon muffins are one of my favorites.
• Orange Zest – Another delicious option is to add on some orange zest. We love the citrus flavor it gives the muffins and combines perfectly with the blueberries.

Simple and Easy Blueberry Muffins:

We love making homemade baked goods. I like making things from scratch as I usually always have the base ingredients and may just need to pick up a few ingredients.

These blueberry muffins are the perfect muffins to make. Skip the bakery muffins and make them at home. You will be surprised how easy they are to make and the recipe can be changed based on your dietary restrictions.
