Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (67g) chopped walnuts (or pecans)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 and 3/4 cups (219g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50g) packed light or dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup (120g) sour cream or plain/vanilla yogurt, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60ml) milk, at room temperature
1 and 1/2 cups (250g) fresh or frozen blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners. Grease/line a second pan with 2 liners because this recipe yields about 14 muffins. Set aside.
  • Mix all of the topping ingredients together. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients and beat until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the blueberries.
  • Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Spoon brown sugar topping on each, gently pressing it down into the surface so it sticks. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 23-25 minutes, give or take. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
  • Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



To Die For Blueberry Muffins image

These muffins are extra large and yummy with the sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful extra-generously-sized deli style muffin. Add extra blueberries too, if you want!

JORDAN MARSH'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Jordan Marsh's Blueberry Muffins image

This recipe came to The Times in a 1987 article by Marian Burros, "The Battle of the Blueberry Muffins." Two years prior, Ms. Burros wrote about a recipe for the muffins attributed to the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. The hotel had adapted a recipe used by Gilchrist's, once one of city's best-known department stores. After it ran, a reader wrote in to say that the best blueberry muffins in Boston were not from the Ritz-Carlton, but from the now-closed Jordan Marsh department store. She sent along the recipe, with a description of how she picks wild blueberries: standing in a pond in the August heat and plucking berries from bushes along the bank. This version has a lot more sugar and butter and fewer eggs than the Ritz-Carlton muffins. The recipe also calls for mashing a half cup of berries and adding them to the batter. This produces a very moist muffin, one that will stay fresh longer.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup softened butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2 cups blueberries, washed, drained and picked over
3 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375.
  • Cream the butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder, and add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
  • Crush 1/2 cup blueberries with a fork, and mix into the batter. Fold in the remaining whole berries.
  • Line a 12 cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners, and fill with batter. Sprinkle the 3 teaspoons sugar over the tops of the muffins, and bake at 375 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove muffins from tin and cool at least 30 minutes. Store, uncovered, or the muffins will be too moist the second day, if they last that long.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries are the best choice for these muffins, as they are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen blueberries. However, frozen blueberries can be used if fresh blueberries are not available.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost full: This will help the muffins rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time: This will help the muffins rise and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help the muffins hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These blueberry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or a special occasion brunch. With their simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
