Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked blueberry muffins wafting through your kitchen. This classic recipe yields moist, tender muffins bursting with juicy blueberries, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful snack. Simple to prepare with everyday ingredients, these muffins are sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients:

Dry ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients:

1 cup buttermilk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins:

1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
Optional: 1 tablespoon flour (for tossing blueberries)

Topping (optional):

– 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:

Use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are unavailable; do not thaw before adding to the batter.
Replace buttermilk with 1 cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar if needed.

What To Serve With It

I always like to pair my blueberry muffins with a fresh fruit salad for a light, invigorating contrast. For a richer option, I spread whipped butter on warm muffins—it melts just right and adds a creamy touch. Both choices make the muffins feel like a complete treat, whether it’s breakfast or a snack.

Fresh Fruit Salad

Pairing a homemade blueberry muffin with a fresh fruit salad can elevate your breakfast or snack time to something truly delightful. I love how the sweet tang of the muffin complements the natural flavors of a vibrant fruit variety. Chopping up strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, and grapes creates a colorful mix that feels like summer dessert on a plate. It’s invigorating, light, and adds a healthy touch to your treat. Sometimes, I’ll drizzle a bit of honey or squeeze lime juice for extra zing. It’s quick to make, and it’s a perfect way to enjoy seasonal fruits while savoring your muffin.

Whipped Butter Spread

A dollop of whipped butter spread can turn a simple baked treat into something truly special. When I serve my blueberry muffins, I love pairing them with whipped butter alternatives like coconut oil or Greek yogurt spreads. They’re lighter but still creamy. Flavored butter spreads, like honey cinnamon or citrus zest, add a fun twist, and they’re so easy to make. Just mix your favorite herbs, spices, or sweeteners into softened butter. It’s amazing how a little something extra can make the muffins feel like a café-style indulgence. I promise, it’s worth the extra step for that wow factor!
