Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the egg in a mixing bowl.
- Stir in the sweet milk.
- Add blueberries and vegetable oil to the mixture.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder, then add to the wet ingredients all at once.
- Stir until the flour is just moistened.
- Fill paper-lined muffin tins about 3/4 full with the batter.
- Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries. If they're not in season, frozen blueberries will work; just ensure they are thawed and drained well to avoid excess moisture. You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, consider adding an extra tablespoon of sugar or incorporating a cinnamon-sugar topping. These muffins are great for breakfast or as a snack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Georgia Blueberry Muffins warm, ideally fresh out of the oven, for a delightful breakfast treat. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For an added touch, try spreading a little butter or cream cheese on top. These muffins also make an excellent addition to brunch and can be served alongside other sweet treats like Ellen'S Brownies or Corn Meal Pancakes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them by wrapping individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag; they can last up to three months. To reheat, microwave for 15-20 seconds or place in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can substitute sweet milk with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version. Just ensure that the alternative milk is unsweetened to maintain the balance of flavors in the muffins.
What can I add to the batter for extra flavor?
Feel free to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for an extra flavor boost. You could also mix in some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture.
How can I tell when the muffins are done baking?
Muffins are done when they have risen and are golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If it comes out wet, continue baking in one or two-minute increments until fully cooked.
