THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
The problem with most blueberry muffins is there are never enough blueberries. But for the batter to support the weight and moisture of the berries, it needs to have an airier texture than most dump-and-stir muffin recipes. So, we creamed the butter for that extra lift and to prevent the blueberries from making the batter gummy. We also added buttermilk and sour cream for richness and tang and to help tenderize the crumb. Lemon zest adds brightness and sprinkling raw sugar before baking give a nice crunch to the muffin tops.

Steps:
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
- Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.
BETTER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS (SHAPE MAGAZINE)
Good for you and YUMMY whole wheat blueberry muffins that you can enjoy without the guilt. Made solely with whole wheat flour, these muffins deliver not only on taste, but on nutrients such as protein and fiber. I couldn't find whole wheat pastry flour, so I used regular whole wheat flour. I also used 1% organic milk instead of buttermilk. Rather than top these with blueberry spread, I used my father-in-law's homemade peach preserves and they were WONDERFUL!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.

- In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, egg, oil, and vanilla.
- Toss blueberries with flour mixture.
- Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture and stir gently.
- Line a 12 count muffin pan with paper liners (or spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray). Divide the batter evenly; sprinkle with remaining sugar.
- Bake 12-15 minutes or until tops are just set. Remove pan from oven and top each muffin with 1t fruit spread and 2 blueberries.
- Bake 3-5 minutes more until golden. Cool in pan for 10 minutes and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your muffins the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen blueberries, be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes: This will help them to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving: This will give them a chance to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
These blueberry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunches. You can also freeze them for later. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy muffin recipe, give these blueberry muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
