The girls and I enjoy baking together.  We tend to spend Saturdays and Sunday mornings making breakfast. We frequently make muffins because they’re so easy and everyone in the family enjoys them. They make a delicious breakfast, are the prettiest addition to brunch and also a great snack!

A single batch can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch or snack. They’re also perfect to share with family and friends for Easter or Mother’s Day brunch.

This easy Blueberry Muffin recipe takes just 10 minutes hands on time and they take just 18 to bake. Enjoy fresh, warm muffins in less than 30 minutes.

It’s one of my favorite sweet bread recipes! These muffins are foolproof and come out perfect every time.

You can serve them alone or with a little bit of butter or even better, a little sugar butter!

Secrets to Making the Best Blueberry Muffins

Cornstarch softens the proteins in flour making the muffins soft, too. I use both oil and butter in this muffin recipe because the vegetable oil adds fluffiness while the butter adds flavor. Of course sugar on top never hurts, either. The granulated sugar adds a little crunch that glistens and makes these muffins bakery beautiful!

Buttermilk also helps make muffins moist and tender, breaking down the gluten. It also prevents the muffin from acquiring the blue tinge from the blueberries, making them so pretty!

If you don’t have buttermilk, don’t fret. You can make it in just a second with just 2 ingredients. Learn how to make buttermilk here!

How to Make Easy Blueberry Muffins from Scratch

It’s so easy! Skip the mix! Chances are, you have all the ingredients you need in your kitchen. Blueberry Muffins are made with staple ingredients. Butter, oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk blended with flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt with fresh blueberries!

If you prefer, use frozen blueberries. Swirl them into the batter direct from the freezer to avoid purple muffins.

This Blueberry Muffin Recipe couldn’t be simpler.

1. Preheat oven.
2. Combine wet ingredients in a mixing bowl and dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl.
3. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet and swirl in blueberries.
4. Line muffin tins with paper liners or use cooking spray if you prefer. Fill the muffin cups with muffin batter using a measuring cup to easily fill.  Sprinkle with sugar.
5. Bake to perfection. A toothpick inserted will ensure they are cooked through, but 18 minutes is generally perfect in my oven.
6. You can even make these into miniature muffins!

These muffins are amazing as is, especially with the crunchy muffin tops, but you can also drizzle, dip or drench them in this lemon glaze!
