Tips:

Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the muffins. This helps them to rise evenly.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow them to rise properly without overflowing.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
