More helpful tips for you.

1. Fresh blueberries work best in this recipe for both structure and flavor. If you decide to try using frozen blueberries, allow them to thaw first and then pat the moisture off of them. Dusting them lightly with flour can help them sand up to this recipe.
2. Buttermilk is important for both the flavor and the texture of these muffins. An alternative that can be used is plain Greek yogurt.
3. Prepping your muffin pan for nonstick is essential for this recipe as the muffins are on the dense side. I like to us liners that have been lightly sprayed
4. My muffins were made in a standard sized muffin pan. Feel free to use a jumbo pan or mini size pan instead, keeping in mind that the baking time will vary.
5. While my muffins are made with blueberries, other berries can also be used with or instead of the blueberries. I like chopped strawberries for this recipe.
6. The muffins are baked through when they bounce back when lightly touched in the center.

4. Combine. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and then add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the mixing bowl and mix until just combined.
5. Blueberries. Use a rubber spatula or similar item to gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Scoop. Use a cookie scoop to distribute the batter into the muffin cups about three fourths of the way full. You can then add additional blueberries to the tops if desired.
7. Bake. Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown and the center (of one or two) passes the toothpick test.
8. Cool. Let the muffins sit in the muffin pan for five minutes to finish setting. Then transfer the muffins to a cooling rack to fully cool.

Expert Tip 👉For an added lift that can make these muffins more like bakery muffins, allow the batter to sit for about 10 minutes before transferring to muffin pan for baking.
