Fluffy, moist, and deliciously good, these blueberry muffins are loaded with juicy blueberries in every bite! These yummy blueberry muffins are perfect for breakfast or snack time!
Oh, summer…why are you saying goodbye? I miss you already! I feel the fall chill each morning when I wake up but I am still holding out for an Indian summer.
I read on Facebook or was it Pinterest, I don’t know…one of those. It said that we should arrest summer for speeding! I say yeah, lock it up, throw the keys away so summer stays forever.
Sorry, am speaking as a Manilena here – from the Philippines – where it seems to be summer all through the year.
I am truly going to miss all the sunny bright days of summer, no matter how hot they can get!
For my homage to summer, here’s my tot’s favorite – blueberry muffins. I essentially used my from-scratch blueberry cake batter here. What came out is a really moist, cakey and delicious muffin with a little crunch on top.
This is why I wish summer won’t leave us. Oh well, I can still eat my muffins….
Let me go grab one!

NOTES on INGREDIENTS for Blueberry Muffins.
- Flour – all-purpose or plain flour
- Sugar – you can use either white or brown sugar or a mix of the two for better muffin color.
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Eggs – bring to room temperature.
- Sour Cream – use plain yogurt as substitute
- Olive Oil – use only the light or the fruity version or replace it with plain vegetable oil.
- Vanilla Extract
- Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
How do you make Blueberry Muffins?
Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Line your muffin pan with paper cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Set aside. In another bowl, mix all the wet ingredients (eggs, sour cream, oil, and vanilla). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix.
I use a spatula to fold in the flour and mix everything together but you can also use a whisk. The batter should be thick. Fold in the berries.
Divide evenly among the 12 muffin cups. I use a large ice cream scooper for this. So handy! A full scoop per cup is about right. There is enough batter (nearly full) for each cup, sufficient to give your muffin a nice dome.
Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Remove from the oven and after about 8-10 minutes (when it’s cool enough to handle) transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks:
I suggest using either all brown sugar or 1 cup brown and half cup white sugar. It will make the batter look brownish but you have a nicer-looking muffin. If you use all white sugar, the muffins will look rather pale. The brown sugar gives the muffins a better color. See below the color of the muffin when you use more brown sugar than white. Lovely, isn’t it?

I love muffins, especially blueberry! And I made pumpkin muffins on Sunday and followed all of your advice from last week. They came out perfect! Thanks again for the great tips!
Hi Lois! Wonderful! So happy that it worked well for you! Love, love, love pumpkin muffins especially when made with choco chips too! 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
Oh those muffins need me desperatelyy……
Now I know what I'll be doing this weekend Abby!
Thanks for the recipe!
Hope you like them, Jen!
Hi, can i use frozen blueberries? Thanks Aviva
Yes, you can.
I have been trying to ask a question all day. I don't know why it is so hard to post a question! Love your blog 🙂 My 2 questions are can i use frozen blueberries and can i use a tofu sour cream? Thanks Aviva I hope this posts!!
Hi! I only open my mail at certain times during the day so I actually just saw your question. Your other question was posted only 20 minutes ago as well. Yes, you may use frozen berries and no need to defrost them. Use them frozen – it's actually better frozen so they retain their shape. You can use Tofu sour cream but I am not sure how that will affect the taste. Let me know please, thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Thank You so much i had a problem with the posting! Great on the answers will get back to you on the tofu 🙂 Aviva
Wonderful! Thanks, Aviva! Have a great week! 🙂
I baked them today and they came out fluffy, moist and of course, delicious! Thank you much for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed them, Asiya. Thanks for letting us know.
I baked the muffins. What a wonderful outcome!
So happy you enjoyed them. Thanks for letting us know.
Hi! Can you tell me where you got the blueberries? I used the ones from the can before and well, they turned out okay save for the fact the batter change and the fact that it's for pie toppings/filling may have compromise the proper rising of the muffin.
Are you from the Philippines? I am based in the US and fresh and frozen blueberry muffins are readily available in groceries. The pie topping would be too heavy for this because they would clump up and also would be too sweet but unfortunately I don't know if you will ever be able to get fresh blueberries there. I am not sure if the frozen ones would have even reached our archipelago though I sure hope so 'cause you certainly can use frozen ones without defrosting them. You can attempt to use the dried ones but I don't know where to find them if you are Manila based. Sorry. Perhaps you can try Rustans. This is why it's helpful to inform me where you are from so I can be more helpful. Thanks.
I'm unsure what kind of olive oil to use. Extra virgin, light, or I don't know what the "fruity version" is lol. What comes out best, in your opinion?
You can use light – the fruity version says so in the label. You can also use regular vegetable oil. Please enjoy!
How many muffins does this recipe make?
12 muffins. Good for a 12 muffin tin.
super yummy muffins..
Thanks, Nandoos Kitchen. Please enjoy.
Thank you I love blue berries muffins. Does it affect if I use 1 cup of sugar instead of 1 1/3?
It will be lesser in sweetness. 🙂
Very good advice Ate!
You're welcome!
Can you substitute something else in place of sour cream?

Yogurt is a good substitute.
This has certainly become my go to recipe for blueberry muffins. I have very good nonstick muffin tins so I skip paper liners.
Blueberry muffins are one of my favorite flavors. I have a batch in the freezer waiting to be used up so I’m going to bake these today! Just need to run to the store for the rest of the ingredients.
This is my absolute favorite blueberry muffin recipe! I’ve made them several times and they always turn out perfectly!
Enjoyed these for breakfast this morning and started my day off right! Turned out perfectly light, fluffy and delicious; easily, a new favorite recipe!
Nothing better than a classic blueberry muffin! These were a hit and my toddler loved them too! Thanks!
I’ve been craving muffins like this for such a long time. Can’t wait to make this recipe now.
These blueberry muffins look so moist and perfect. Saving this recipe for later!
Moist, fluffy, and bursting with blueberries! These muffins were an absolute delight for breakfast.
Bookmarked these to make again. I needed a recipe just like this for easy summer breakfasts. Sour cream makes them so moist.
I just love a good homemade blueberry muffin! 🙂 Look at all the blueberries in these!
Made this yesterday and it was a big hit! Muffin was moist and soft. I used frozen blueberries and they turned out well!
Just like your Bundt cake recipe and I must say it was delicious. Baking these today for my grown grandsons.

Yes, this is the muffin version of the blueberry bundt cake. So glad you liked it and hope your grandsons, too! Thank you!
