These muffins are big like the ones you would find in your favorite bakery, super moist, full of fresh or frozen blueberries, and topped with a delicious sweet crumb topping.

The recipe uses ingredients you likely already have on hand like flour, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and milk and they come together in under 1 hour!

What Do I Need To Make Muffins From Scratch?

These are the ingredients you need to make these large bakery-style muffins:

  • All-purpose flour 
  • Granulated sugar 
  • Salt 
  • Baking powder 
  • Vegetable oil 
  • Egg 
  • Milk 
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries 
  • Butter 
  • Ground cinnamon 

It’s ok to use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar although the flavor and color will vary a little bit. For best results, use unsalted butter.

How To Make Homemade Blueberry Muffins?

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 F and line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Alternatively, you can grease the muffin cups if you are not using liners 
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ tsp salt, and 2 tsp baking powder until combined
  3. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 egg, and 1/3 cup milk until combined.

  6. Make the crumb topping by mixing the ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup cubed butter, and 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon. Use a fork to break up the cubes of butter.

Can You Freeze Blueberry Muffins?

Yes! Muffins are great to freeze. Allow the muffins to cool completely then store them in an air-tight container or sealed freezer bag and store for up to 3 months.

What Can I Use Instead Of Blueberries In Muffins?

Any fresh, frozen, or dried berry will work fine in this recipe.

If you are using a berry that is on the watery side, make sure you drain off some of the juices before adding them to your batter.

Answering Your Burning Questions:

How Do You Sweeten Blueberries For Muffins?

To add extra sweetness to your berries you can toss them in a bit of granulated sugar, honey, or maple syrup and let them sit for about 30 minutes before folding into your batter.

Do You Thaw Blueberries Before Making Muffins?

I recommend not thawing frozen blueberries before using them in this recipe.

Thawing can cause extra liquid in your batter, which you do not want.

You can toss your frozen blueberries in 1 tbsp flour then fold them into your recipe. Note that because the berries are cold it might extend your cooking time by a few minutes.

Can You Use Frozen Blueberries In Blueberry Muffins?

Of course, you can! Use the same measurement of frozen berries in this recipe and it will work beautifully.

How Do You Keep Blueberries From Exploding In Muffins?

If you are baking with fresh berries, it is quite common for a few of them to explode in your muffins.

Unfortunately, sometimes there’s nothing you can do when things heat up in the oven.

Frozen berries are less likely to burst in your batter and can be used interchangeably in this recipe.

How Do I Get My Muffins To Rise Higher?

The trick to getting muffins to rise higher is shocking them with heat right when they go into the oven.

You can start with the oven at 425 degrees F for 5-8 minutes, then lower it to 350 degrees F until done (12-15 mins).

What Makes Muffins Light And Fluffy?

The key to light and fluffy muffins of any flavor is not to overmix your batter.

I like to make sure there are a few streaks of flour left in the batter before folding in the blueberries so that it finishes mixing then. This ensures your muffins do not come out dense and cakey.

How Do You Keep Blueberries From Sinking To The Bottom Of Muffins?

This is one of my favorite baking hacks. Coat your blueberries in about 1 tbsp of flour before folding them into your batter.

The flour absorbs some of the berry’s moisture and creates a barrier, preventing them from falling to the bottom.

    I’ve made these muffins several times and they are a big hit in our house!! So delicious!!! Both with and without the crumble topping 🙂 We are attending a gathering in a few weeks and I was hoping to make these, but there are a few dietary restrictions in the group that I want to accommodate for. I was wondering if you have ever made them gluten-free? And if so, do you have any tips/recommendations for the best way to substitute out the flour?

    My muffins turned out beautiful! I was nervous, because I had never baked a muffin with a crumble top.

    These muffins are absolutely delicious! I would like to note a few things I had to adjust when I was making them:
    1. There is no way I could have successfully filled the liners full with the batter. As it was, I filled them slightly over 2/3 and had to bake for an additional 10 minutes.
    2. Because the muffin liners were so full, there was little room left for the crumble, which over baked because of the additional 10 minutes (see above).
    3. The crumble recipe made more than I needed, especially if I followed the recipe exactly.
    4. I used thawed, frozen blueberries as that was all I had on hand. The muffins were still delicious!
    Adjustments I will make next time: I will fill the liners 2/3 full or just under and will use slightly less crumble topping. Honestly though, these muffins were so good, I’d eat them without the crumble! Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!
