Ingredients
Instructions
- Add sour milk to beaten eggs and mix well.
- Add oil and sugar to the egg mixture and stir until combined.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently.
- Fold in blueberries and vanilla extract.
- Pour the batter into greased muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra moist muffins, try substituting half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. If you don't have sour milk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding the flour, as this can lead to dense muffins.
Serving Suggestions
These muffins are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. They pair beautifully with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey. For a complete breakfast, serve alongside Greek yogurt and fresh fruit. They also make a delightful snack with a cup of tea or coffee. Consider serving them with Fanny Flagg'S Fried Green Tomatoes for a Southern-inspired brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave for about 15-20 seconds or place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to add them directly from the freezer without thawing to prevent the batter from turning blue. You may need to bake them a minute or two longer.
What can I substitute for eggs in this recipe?
To make these muffins egg-free, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let sit for 5 minutes) as a substitute for each egg.
How can I make these muffins gluten-free?
To make gluten-free blueberry muffins, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the baking powder is also gluten-free, and avoid cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients.
