Step-by-Step Mini Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Add Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, add 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour with one cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ tsp of baking soda, ½ tsp of salt, and, I almost forgot, two tablespoons of cornstarch.
- Now whisk everything together until well combined, and set this aside.
Add Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, add 1/4 cup of melted, unsalted butter, ¼ cup of canola oil (vegetable oil, neutral cooking oil ), 1 large egg, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 cup sour cream, and the final and king ingredients are blueberries, 1 ¾ cups.
Combine Ingredients
- Now whisk everything together until smooth. This mixture will be pretty thick. That’s totally normal.

- Insert the toothpick in the center. If the comes out clean with few crumbs, the muffins will be ready.

FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use them because they are healthy, like fresh berries. But frozen blueberries can be a little soft when they melt. If you want the best texture, fresh blueberries are better. But both work fine for muffins.
How long will homemade blueberry muffins last?
Keep your muffins in an airtight box. First, put a paper towel in the box, then place muffins in one layer. You can add 1–2 salt biscuits (like saltines) to stop extra moisture. Close the lid and store at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
How to give blueberry muffins more flavor?
Yes, add 4 teaspoons of cinnamon and a little lemon juice for more flavor. For extra blueberry taste, mash some berries and mix them in. A pinch of extra salt also helps.
Why did blueberries sink in muffins?
Blueberries sink when they’re not coated in flour. Toss them in a little flour before adding to the batter to help keep them from sinking.
