Why This Recipe is Special?
- The tangy sour cream and sweet blueberries create a perfect balance of flavors.
- Moist and fluffy texture of the muffins.
- Easy to make with simple ingredients.
- Perfect for breakfast or brunch.
- Can be made with fresh or frozen blueberries.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, plus 1 tsp for rolling berries
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 1/2 cup (118ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240g) sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
Directions:
Line a 12-count standard muffin tin with cupcake liners. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, beat together 2 eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon fine salt with an electric mixer on high speed for 4-5 minutes. The eggs should be light in color.
Add 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients 1/3 at a time, beating on low speed with each addition just until combined. Do not overmix, or the muffins will turn out dense. You can also use a handheld whisk to mix in the flour.
In a small bowl, toss to coat 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries with 1 tsp all-purpose flour. Add the blueberries to the batter and use a spatula to gently fold in the blueberries just until combined.
Spoon the muffin batter equally into the muffin pan, filling the muffin cups 3/4 to the top (or until all of the batter is used up). Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If using frozen berries, increase baking time to 30-35 mins.
Let the baked muffins cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them onto a cooling rack until they reach room temperature before enjoying.
Notes:
- If you don’t have blueberries, you can use other types of berries or even chocolate chips.
- Be sure to rinse and dry the blueberries before adding them to the batter to avoid excess moisture in the muffins.
- Don’t overmix the batter, or the muffins will turn out dense.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
