Recipe

Blueberry muffins are a classic breakfast treat, combining a tender crumb with bursts of sweet, juicy blueberries. This recipe delivers perfectly moist muffins with a golden top, making them an irresistible addition to your morning routine.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
5. Carefully fold in the blueberries, avoiding overmixing.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Blueberry muffins are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Here’s a breakdown of their nutritional content per serving:

What To Serve With It

I love pairing blueberry muffins with a creamy cream cheese spread—it adds a rich, tangy contrast that’s irresistible. A fresh fruit salad on the side makes it feel like a complete, invigorating breakfast or snack. It’s a simple combo, but trust me, it’s a game-changer!

Cream Cheese Spread

If you’re looking to take your blueberry muffins to the next level, a creamy, tangy spread can make all the difference. I love whipping up a simple cream cheese spread—just softened cream cheese, a splash of vanilla, and a drizzle of honey. It’s smooth, slightly sweet, and pairs perfectly with the muffins’ juicy berries. Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of lemon zest for a bright kick. Spread it on warm muffins, and it melts just enough to feel indulgent. Trust me, once you try it, you won’t want to eat your muffins plain again!

Fresh Fruit Salad

A revitalizing fruit salad is the perfect way to balance the rich, buttery goodness of blueberry muffins. I love combining sweet strawberries, tangy pineapple, and crisp apples for a burst of flavor. Sometimes, I’ll toss in a handful of blueberries to keep the theme going. A drizzle of honey or a squeeze of lime juice adds a bright finish. It’s invigorating, simple, and makes the whole spread feel complete. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak in some extra fruit! Every time I serve this combo, it feels like a little celebration. Trust me, it’s a winner.
