    Ingredients Notes

    • Flour - Use all-purpose flour.
    • Baking powder -Needed for the perfect rise to the muffin.
    • Salt - Enhances the flavor of the other ingredients and provides a balance to the sweetness of the muffin.
    • Sugar - Used to add a smooth sweetness to the muffins. Y
    • Greek yogurt - A vanilla flavored yogurt can be substituted. The yogurt is thinned down with just a little water. You can substitute whole milk for the yogurt and water.
    • Butter - Salted butter.
    • Egg- In a pinch ½ mashed banana can be substituted for the egg however I think using an egg will give the best texture and flavor.
    • Vanilla extract - vanilla or an almond extract can be used.
    • Blueberries - I use fresh sweet blueberries and sometimes opt for frozen because they are picked and flash-frozen and the height of ripeness and I’m confident they will be flavorful. If using frozen berries the blueberries should be added to the batter while still frozen. When using fresh blueberries make sure you find the ripe sweet ones. You can also substitute another frozen or fresh berry.
    • Optional Ingredient: Add a handful of chocolate chips Addin a little lemon zest to the batter.

    Recipe Directions

    In a measuring cup or small mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Use a fork to mix in the melted butter. Mix in the egg yolk until combined

    Fold in the yogurt and vanilla extract to the muffin batter, the batter should remain thick.

    With a mini rubber spatula gently fold in the blueberries.

    Not shown: Lightly coat the blueberries with flour before folding them into the batter.

    Place 1 paper liner in a muffin tin and spoon the batter into the liner.

    Bake in a 400° preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the muffin, if it comes out clean the muffin is done. Cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.

    Making A Blueberry Muffin: Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Yes, but don’t thaw the berries, fold in the frozen berries and increase baking time by about 5 minutes. If using frozen then check for freezer burn before adding to your batter.

    Why is the bottom of my muffin soggy?

    Sometimes the fruit sinks to the bottom and this can cause a soggy muffin. Coat the blueberries with flour before folding them into the muffin batter. Also, don't let the muffins cool in the pan for too long.

    Cooking scrumptious small batch recipes for one and sometimes for two are created in my small 1960’s kitchen. I learned to cook Shepherds Pie in England and Classic Marinara while living in Italy. Born in Southern California and raised in the Midwest, my cooking represents the best of both regions with an added touch of Southern hospitality.
