Easy Blueberry Muffins

This recipe will come in handy during our summer season when blueberries are plentiful! These delicious muffins are great for easy breakfasts on school days or a quick pick-me-up during the work day.

You’ll need:

  • Jumbo muffin tin or regular muffin tin
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/14 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries (if you’re using frozen, make sure you defrost them)

To make:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one.
  • Stir in vanilla, lemon juice, and milk.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Stir into the wet mixture.
  • In a small bowl, lightly mush half your berries and stir them into the batter.
  • Fold in remaining berries. The batter will be thick so you don’t have to worry about the berries sinking to the bottom during baking.
  • You can use liners or simply spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Fill muffin tins leaving 1/3 room in the cups so muffins can rise.
  • Reduce oven heat to 375 and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes (starting the oven at higher heat gives you a higher muffin top and lowering the heat will prevent your muffins from drying out).
  • Remove muffins and allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
