How to make bakery-style blueberry muffins?
The only effort that goes into making this is taking the time to measure and mix all the ingredients and, of course, the baking time. First, the dry ingredients, namely all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, are whisked together.
The wet ingredients include one egg, oil, and milk, and combined, they should measure up to 1 cup in the measuring cup. The use of oil and no butter in this recipe makes the muffins moist and soft. Vanilla essence is also added for a nice flavor.
You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries. I've made it with both, and they turn out great no matter which you choose.
- Step 1: Line the Muffin tin or tray with paper cups.
- Step 2: Whisk AP flour, sugar, and baking powder.
- Step 3: Add egg, milk, and oil to a measuring cup.
- Step 4: The wet ingredients should measure up to 8 oz or 1 cup.
- Step 5: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix.
- Step 6: Add blueberries and mix gently with a fork to form a thick batter.
- Step 7: Pour the batter into the paper cups and sprinkle the top with sugar to get the crumb topping.
- Step 8: Bake at 400 deg F for 15 to 20 minutes or until done; a toothpick when inserted should come out clean.
Quick and Easy Blueberry Muffins - Tips
- If using frozen ones, it is preferable to add them into the batter in the last step without defrosting them to avoid the juice of the blueberries leaking and discoloring the muffin.
- Once you mix the wet and dry ingredients, make sure not to mix too much. Just make sure they are just about well combined.
- Have them when they are still warm from the oven for the best-tasting muffins.
I highly recommend making these delicious muffins. They taste awesome, bursting with delicious flavors, and they are so addictive that one cannot stop having them. They make great breakfasts, just like the walnut and banana bread recipe or the moist chocolate banana bread.
Recipe FAQs
The muffins can be stored at room temperature for 3 - 4 days if kept in an air-tight and closed container. They can even be frozen for three to four months.
Both the crumb and streusel toppings are made with butter, sugar, and flour. The crumb topping typically has more sugar and sometimes a bit less flour, making it lighter and more crumbly. Streusel, on the other hand, is denser and chewier due to its higher flour content. The recipe in this post uses only granulated sugar for the topping, giving it a more crumbly texture.

Notes
-
- To measure the exact amount of wet ingredients in a Pyrex measuring cup, first crack in the egg and beat it, then add the oil, and finally the milk, until the total reaches 1 cup.
- If using frozen blueberries, it's best to add them directly to the batter in the final step without thawing, to prevent the juice from leaking and discoloring the muffins.
- Once you combine the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix as overmixing can yield hard muffins. Simply stir with a fork or spoon until they're just about combined.
- Fill the batter to about three-fourths of the paper cup so that they have room to rise.
- Enjoy them while they're still warm from the oven for the best-tasting muffins.
- Do not forget the sprinkle of granulated sugar on the top just before baking for the crumb top.
