I am OBSESSED with these muffins.

The buttery crumble on top pairs perfectly with the bursting blueberries in every bite.

However, the simplicity of the muffin batter is what I love the most. It’s moist and fluffy while still be dense enough to hold in your hand.

You will just need simple and easy-to-find ingredients to make these delicious muffins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I able to make these muffins with gluten free flour?

I suggest using an all purpose gluten free flour and substituting at a 1:1 ratio. Substituting any other flour will impact the rise and texture of these muffins. 

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

You can! I prefer the fresh blueberries but the frozen will also be delicious. Make sure to still coat the frozen blueberries in flour before folding them into the batter.

What is the secret to making the muffins so moist and fluffy?

There are a few things! The baking powder, not over mixing the batter and then resting the batter before transferring to muffin liners. This combination works like a charm every time.

How do I know when the muffins are fully baked?

The muffins are fully baked when you stick a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean.

What is the best way to store the muffins?

Store these muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. Leave a corner of the container open for airflow. 

If you’d like to store them for longer, freeze for up to 1 month!
