Muffins are typically thought of as a breakfast food, perfect for brunch, however they are actually super versatile – you can pack them in a lunch box, enjoy as an after snack, or have them in the evening as dessert. 

These Blueberry Muffins are moist and don’t dry out, just be sure to keep them in an airtight container.

Kitchen Essentials Needed

Over the years, and hundreds of muffins baked, there are a few simple tips that I have learned – 

Baking Tip #1: Fresh or Frozen – either is fine, just keep in mind that if you are using frozen, there will be more moisture in them. Thaw frozen berries, rinse and pat dry. 

Baking Tip #2: Make ahead – you can easily mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and store in an airtight container, then add the wet ingredients and berries when you are ready to bake the muffins.

Baking Tip #3: Wet Ingredients – for this recipe you will need a 1 cup measuring cup – then add the oil, and beaten egg to the cup, then fill to the 1 cup mark with milk. Beat until mixed well. 

Baking Tip #4: Reserve a couple spoons full of dry ingredients to add to the blueberries, toss to coat before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the berries from sinking to the bottom of the muffin. 

Baking Tip #5: Mixing – be sure not to over mix the muffin batter. Mix just until ingredients are incorporated.
