Blueberry Puffs
Delightful blueberry puffs feature sweet blueberries coated in cinnamon-sugar, offering a warm, tender bite perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack with a burst of berry flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare muffins as directed on the wild blueberry muffin mix package, but bake the batter in tiny muffin cups for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Once muffins are hot, roll each in 1/2 cup melted butter.
- Then roll the buttered muffins in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For added texture, consider folding in a handful of fresh blueberries into the muffin batter before baking. If you don't have wild blueberry muffin mix, you can use any berry muffin mix as a substitute. Adjust the sugar and cinnamon ratio to your taste, especially if you prefer a sweeter or spicier finish. For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serving Suggestions
These Blueberry Puffs make a delightful breakfast treat or a sweet snack. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or herbal tea. For a balanced breakfast, serve alongside Greek yogurt or fruit salad. Consider serving them with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness, or try them as a side with Carolyn'S Sweet Potato Casserole for a festive meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Blueberry Puffs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to restore their warmth and crispiness, or microwave for 10-15 seconds for a quick warm-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of the muffin mix?
While the recipe specifically calls for wild blueberry muffin mix, you can certainly use frozen blueberries. Simply fold them into your muffin batter before baking. Be aware that frozen blueberries may release more moisture, so reduce any added liquid in the mix to ensure the muffins remain fluffy.
What can I substitute for melted butter?
If you're looking for a substitute for melted butter, you can use coconut oil or a neutral vegetable oil. For a dairy-free option, try using a plant-based butter or margarine. Just ensure that whatever substitute you choose is melted for best results in coating the muffins.
How do I prevent the muffins from sticking to the cups?
To prevent sticking, make sure to grease the tiny muffin cups well with cooking spray or butter before adding the batter. Alternatively, you can use paper liners, which also make for easy cleanup. If using silicone molds, ensure they're properly flexible for easy muffin removal after baking.
