Description

Moist and airy, these muffins can be made in a snap! Great for tea parties with friends or just a nice Sunday morning treat!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MUFFINS:
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder, Must Be Fresh!
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1-¼ cup Sour Cream
  • 1-½ cup Frozen Blueberries, Like Wymans
  • _____
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt til combined. In a 2nd bowl whisk egg. Add sugar and beat til thick and homogenous. Add melted butter. Next add sour cream.
In the flour bowl, add blueberries and gently toss til coated. Add the sugar/sour cream mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until batter comes together and berries are evenly distributed about 25-30 seconds. Do not over mix.

Use an ice cream scoop and drop batter into a greased or paper cup lined muffin tin. Bake til light and golden about 25-30 minutes. You can insert a toothpick in the center and it should come out clean, or simply press the center of one and it should spring back.

Make a topping in a bowl of 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Melt butter in a little Pyrex bowl and dip the tops of the cooled muffins in butter then dip in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Enjoy!

Note: It will taste great with regular salted butter if that’s what you have on hand. No need for a special trip to the store!

These look delish! Aren’t Maine blueberries the best? I’m going to go pick some right now and make some! Thanks! :)

Made these and they did not turn out at all. Wondering if perhaps the amount of sour cream is incorrect? Seems like an awful lot. The family called them “mush” muffins and ate them anyway but certainly not a success.

Hi All…I just wanted to make a comment that Mary shared with me. She lives in a high altitude area so she had to make some adjustments. She made sure her baking powder was fresh, used regular sour cream instead of low fat, and also increased the baking temperature to 375 so it would puff up and not be flat. Thank you Mary, for sharing that with me!

Not a fan of these. I followed the recipe exactly and they were heavy and dense. I double checked the recipe afterwards to make sure I hadn’t forgotten anything and I hadn’t.

These muffins were delightful! Light, fluffy, tender and sweet. I used fresh blueberries rather than frozen and they have such a nice burst of flavor. Mine look a bit lumpy on top, but the amazing flavor and texture more than make up for any “problems” with appearance. Definitely my new go-to muffin recipe!

These are so so good. My husband tried one then quickly returned for another. I made mini muffins and I brushed the tops with softened butter mixed with the cinnamon sugar instead of dipping them into melted butter. So easy and so yummy.

These are a moist and flavorful blueberry muffin. I live at 4,000 feet elevation and baked my second batch at 375 degrees. They raised a little more and browned on top better. I’m happy to add this recipe to my all time favorites recipe box.
