Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. Prepare Blueberries

Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

6. Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.

7. Fill Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

8. Bake

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Cool

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Expert Tips

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
• Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: You can use frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren’t available. Just don’t thaw them before adding to the batter.
• Add a Streusel Topping: For an extra touch, sprinkle a streusel topping over the muffins before baking. Check out our Ultimate Bakery Style Streusel Blueberry Muffins Recipe for inspiration.
