Perfect Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Make bakery-quality blueberry muffins at home that stay moist inside with golden-brown tops. This recipe works perfectly in a 12-cup standard muffin pan.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. No need to grease your Bake Boss muffin pan—the nonstick silicone handles everything.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Don't overmix—lumpy batter makes better muffins.
- Gently fold in blueberries. Reserve a few for the top of each muffin.
- Fill each cup of your 12-cup muffin pan 2/3 full. Top with reserved blueberries.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Pro Tips for Perfect Results
Even Browning: A quality muffin pan like the Bake Boss 12-Cup Muffin Pan ensures every muffin browns evenly—no pale centers or burnt edges. The premium silicone distributes heat perfectly.
Freeze Fresh for Later: Make a double batch and freeze extras in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Pop in the toaster oven to reheat.
Add-in Ideas: Try lemon zest, chocolate chips, or nuts for variations. Use the same 12-cup pan for consistency every time.
Complementary Baking Tools
To complete your muffin-baking setup, consider adding these essentials: a cooling rack to prevent soggy muffin bottoms, parchment paper liners for easy cleanup, and a silicone spatula for perfect muffin removal.
