Why Do I Love Blueberry Muffins?
Growing up I didn’t eat a ton of muffins. But after I got married, Chris introduced me BIG TIME to the world of muffin recipes. He’s not a huge fan of cookies, cakes or pies. No the way to his heart is giving him a dozen muffins!
And he especially loves them with fruit. Blueberry is his first choice, but he loves raspberry too! So I started making a ton of muffins and the more I did, the more I got hooked and became a huge muffin lover myself! And the more I baked, the more I tweaked the recipes until, well – perfection happens.
So let me introduce you to the fluffiest, moistest blueberry muffins of your dreams, complete with a sweet big, muffin top sprinkled with crunchy turbinado sugar and cinnamon. You are going to love them!
Ingredients for Irresistible Blueberry Muffins
The great thing about this recipe is, besides the fresh blueberries, you probably already have everything you need in your kitchen!
To make these delicious blueberry muffins you will need:
If you don’t have turbinado sugar, you can substitute with white or even brown sugar. But I highly recommend the turbinado. It takes the muffin to the next level by creating that fabulous bakery-style sweet crumble on top of the muffins. So good and totally worth the extra trip to the store!

- Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

- Then, add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, then fold in the fresh berries.
- Make the streusel topping.
- Pour the mixed batter into a prepared muffin tin or paper liners and sprinkle with the topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, or inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Tips & Tricks For Making The Best Blueberry Muffin Recipe
- Toss a little of the dry muffin flour mixture with the fresh blueberries. This will help the blueberries evenly distribute throughout the batter and prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffin during the baking process.
- If you over fill your muffin cups and end up with a few empty muffin pan cup spaces, add 1 tablespoon of water to the empty cups when baking. Muffins tend to burn faster in a pan with empty cups.
- Don’t over mix your batter or your muffins will become tough. To preserve that moist, tender crumb we are all looking for in a good blueberry muffin, fold the blueberry muffin batter together until just combined!
- Style up your fluffy muffins with some fun tulip muffin liners. These cupcake liners are so much easier to unwrap and they’re great at catching all the crumbs!
