Carol'S B&B Blueberry Muffins
Sweet and tender blueberry muffins with moist crumb and bursts of fruit, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack, appealing to all blueberry lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the frozen blueberries.
- Add milk, egg, and melted butter to the dry ingredients.
- Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened; the batter will be lumpy. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into twelve muffin cups.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of lemon zest. If you don't have frozen blueberries, fresh blueberries can be used, but reduce the baking time slightly. For a healthier alternative, substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Ensure not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine for a tender muffin.
Serving Suggestions
These muffins are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt for breakfast. For a delightful afternoon treat, serve them with a cup of coffee or tea. You can also try them alongside 'Old Virginia' Scrapple for a savory contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer bag, where they can last for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
