The Best Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Put that boxed mix down! You’ll take one look at the tiny jar of shriveled blueberries that come in the boxed mix and be disappointed (speaking from experience). The texture of these is just right and homemade muffins are 100 times better than storebought. Really, these homemade Blueberry Muffins look and taste like something out of a fancy bakery but even better because you get to eat them warm and so fresh from the oven.
Ingredients for Blueberry Muffins
Eggs – should be at room temperatureSugar – sweetens the muffins, holds on to moisture so the muffins will stay fresh longer, and encourages browning in the oven. Sour cream – adds moisture and balances the flavorOil – we use extra light olive oil, but canola oil or vegetable oil will workVanilla and Salt – add balanced flavorFlour – all-purpose flour creates the best muffin crumbBaking powder – leavening to help the muffins riseLemon – use the zest and juice from 1 lemonBlueberries – fresh is best, but you can substitute frozen or dried (see notes below)
Pro Tip: Measuring correctly in baking is critical. Watch our quick video tutorial on how to measure ingredients accurately.
How to Make Blueberry Muffins
This blueberry muffin recipe is so simple and the key to success is not to over-mix after beating the eggs and sugar. You want to see tiny lumps in the batter after mixing in the flour and it should not be perfectly smooth. I used an electric hand mixer to beat the eggs and sugar then added the flour, zest and lemon juice with a whisk and finally folded in the blueberries with a spatula. Once the muffins are out of the oven, remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool on a wire rack. It’s best to let them cool to room temperature before adding glaze.
The Best Glaze for Muffins
You will fall in love with this lemon glaze. It adds just the right amount of exciting tangy lemon flavor. Combine the powdered sugar, zest and add lemon juice to reach your desired consistency. Easy peasy! This Blueberry Muffin recipe is easy and a real treat. You can even freeze the blueberry muffins (without the glaze) to enjoy when the craving strikes.
