How to Make Heavenly Blueberry Muffins

Step-by-step process of making blueberry muffins
Follow these simple steps to create moist, flavorful blueberry muffins with ease

Step 1: Whisk the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and eggs. Give them a good whisk until everything’s nice and smooth.

Step 2: Add the Oil Gradually

Pour in half the corn oil and stir to combine. Then add the rest and stir again. This gradual mixing keeps your batter silky.

Step 3: Sweeten It Up

Add the sugar to your wet mix. Stir until it’s fully dissolved and the mixture looks glossy.

Step 4: Sift and Mix the Dry Ingredients

Sift in your low-gluten flour, milk powder, and baking powder. Mix gently until the batter is smooth—no overmixing, friends!

Step 5: Make the Crispy Topping

In a small bowl, blend the flour, softened butter, and sugar with your fingers or a fork until crumbly and sand-like.

Step 6: Fill Your Muffin Liners

Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each cupcake liner about ¾ full with the batter.

Step 7: Top with Blueberries and Crumbs

Gently press 2–3 blueberries on top of each muffin, then sprinkle the crispy topping over them like edible fairy dust.

Step 8: Bake to Golden Perfection

Pop the tray into a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden, domed, and lightly springy to the touch.

Pro Tips for Muffin Success

  • Toss your blueberries in a little flour before topping—this helps them stay in place!
  • Don’t overmix the batter. Stir until just combined for a light texture.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.

Flavor Variations

  • Lemon Zest – Add a teaspoon to the batter for a citrusy zing
  • Chocolate Chips – Swap half the blueberries for white chocolate chips
  • Berry Medley – Use a mix of raspberries and blackberries for a wild twist
  • Nut Crunch – Sprinkle chopped almonds or pecans into the topping

Make-Ahead & Storage

You can make the batter a few hours in advance and refrigerate it—just let it sit at room temp for 10 minutes before baking.

Leftovers

Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. But let’s be real… they rarely last that long.

Freezing

Absolutely! Wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature or pop in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Reheating

To get that just-baked vibe, warm muffins in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5–7 minutes, or microwave for 20–30 seconds until soft and warm.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes! Just don’t thaw them first—add straight to the batter or top frozen.

Can I use regular all-purpose flour?
You can, though the texture may be a bit firmer. Still delish!

What’s the difference between corn oil and butter in this recipe?
Corn oil gives a lighter, moister crumb. Butter adds rich flavor. Choose based on your mood!

Can I skip the crispy topping?
Sure, but it adds that bakery-style magic. Totally worth the tiny extra step!
