Best Blueberry Muffins: A Great Brunch Addition

Best Blueberry Muffins

Do you love a good blueberry muffin?  Bursting with berries – and with a bonus of some protein?  Then this recipe for blueberry muffins is for you. I love a good quick bread. And what’s a muffin but a single-serving quick bread?  

Best Blueberry Muffins

This recipe for blueberry muffins uses a combination of Greek yogurt – which I always have on hand for stuff like this dip – and a small amount of milk of your choice.  After creaming the butter and sugar, you alternate adding the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Be sure to leave 1-2 tablespoons of flour in the bottom of the bowl.  Toss your blueberries- fresh or frozen work equally well (I’ve even used chopped cranberries for a seasonal twist) – in the remaining flour to help them stay more suspended in the batter.

Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup, minus 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups Greek whole milk yogurt (such as Straus)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease 12-cup muffin pan. Combine flour, soda, powder, and salt and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in one-half of dry ingredients, followed by a 1/4 cup of the yogurt and the milk.  Beat in half of the remaining dry ingredients, then 1/2 cup of the yogurt; repeat with remaining ingredients, leaving about 1 tablespoon of flour mixture in the bowl.
  • Toss blueberries in remaining flour and then gently fold into batter, which will be quite thick.  Divide into greased muffin pan and bake 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan once after about 15 minutes.  
  • Allow to rest 5-10 minutes before serving.  Or cool completely and freeze.

Notes

If you freeze the muffins, you can remove them one at a time and pop in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm.  Alternatively, you can thaw, covered, overnight on the counter.  

These are substantial muffins – like a solid breakfast or brunch item on their own.  Enjoy!
