This easy blueberry muffins recipe is made from scratch and is such a simple recipe that you can whip up with traditional pantry staples.
These blueberry muffins are a bit sweet, a bit tart and are a great way to start your mornings – especially since they’re freezer friendly!
Do Blueberry Muffins Freeze Well?
Yes! I actually popped our leftover muffins from this batch in the freezer to use for future breakfasts and snacks. I’m actually making a couple of extra batches today with leftover blueberries and strawberries so I can use them up before they go bad and stock our freezer with breakfasts for a while!
Make a batch and allow to cool. Then freeze them on a sheet pan for about 12 hours in the freezer. Remove from the freezer and wrap with Press and Seal and then place in a gallon zip lock bag. They will freeze well double wrapped for a couple months.
Don’t skip the first step of freezing them on the sheet pan or they will stick to the press and seal! They’ll stay fresh in your freezer for about two to three months.
When you’re ready to enjoy a muffin from the freezer, just place a blueberry muffin on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for about a minute. It makes the perfect easy breakfast.
My husband and I saw these cute coffee mugs while we were at Target and picked them up because I can never turn down a cute set of mugs (I used to design coffee mugs so they’re still one of my favorite things to collect!).
I picked up this So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Creamer in the French Vanilla flavor at Target. Target has a Cartwheel offer for 10% off So Delicious Dairy Free Creamers from 6/10 through 7/7, so you can grab yours at a discount too!
I always prefer to use a dairy free option when possible and finding a tasty coffee creamer that was dairy free has been a challenge! I love that this So Delicious creamer tastes sweet, creamy and gives a light coconut taste to coffee.
Having a good cup of coffee and these muffins ready to go in the morning makes my breakfast prep take all of three minutes. Which has come in handy lately since I’ve had to be more intentional with my time and actually consistently use my planner to plan out my upcoming recipe shoots for the upcoming weeks.
I’ve recently started creating recipes for other sites so I’ve realized that getting organized enough to make things run smoothly requires a planner!
🍓 Ingredients
The ingredients for these blueberry muffins are things you probably have around the house. Let’s talk about a few of them:
Flour: We use all-purpose flour and it’s great. You may be able to use a gluten-free flour as long as it has xanthan gum too. I haven’t made them gluten-free so I can’t verify the texture of flavor, but it’s worth pursuing if you eat gluten free.
Sugar: We use a combination of white sugar in the batter as well as some turbinado sugar on top. It makes the blueberry muffins sweet and delicious.
Blueberries: It’s best to use fresh, but you could swap them out for frozen berries if needed. If using frozen, you will need to run them under cool water and drain before adding to the batter.
How to Make Blueberry Muffins
