Tips for The Best Blueberry Muffins

Homemade blueberry muffins are truly the best, especially when served warm. Here are a few tips to help you get The Best Blueberry Muffins at home!

1. Use buttermilk: buttermilk makes these muffins tender and moist!
2. Don’t over-mix!
3. Use fresh blueberries (but frozen can be used in place of fresh if needed)
4. Use muffin liners – this helps ensure the muffins hold their shape and release easily from the muffin tin.
5. Don’t forget the crumb topping – Blueberry Muffins with the crumb topping are simply the best!
6. Scoop the muffin batter into the muffins tins with a large cookie scoop or an ice cream scoop.
7. Allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or the counter to finish cooling.
8. Don’t over-bake – you will know the muffins are done when you insert a toothpick into the center of the muffins and it comes out clean with just a few crumbs attached.
9. Bake them at a high temperature first allows them to rise high like you’d expect with a bakery muffin. Then lower the temperature allows the muffin to finish baking through. The process of starting at a higher temp and finishing at a lower temp results in the perfect muffin!

Storing leftover blueberry muffins

After muffins have cooled to room temperature, place the muffins in an air-tight container. Line the container with a paper towel to help absorb any excess moisture. Muffins are best stored at room temperature but if they need to be stored longer than a couple of days, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
