THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



The Best Blueberry Muffins image

The problem with most blueberry muffins is there are never enough blueberries. But for the batter to support the weight and moisture of the berries, it needs to have an airier texture than most dump-and-stir muffin recipes. So, we creamed the butter for that extra lift and to prevent the blueberries from making the batter gummy. We also added buttermilk and sour cream for richness and tang and to help tenderize the crumb. Lemon zest adds brightness and sprinkling raw sugar before baking give a nice crunch to the muffin tops.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons raw sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
  • Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.

BETTER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS (SHAPE MAGAZINE)



Better Blueberry Muffins (Shape Magazine) image

Good for you and YUMMY whole wheat blueberry muffins that you can enjoy without the guilt. Made solely with whole wheat flour, these muffins deliver not only on taste, but on nutrients such as protein and fiber. I couldn't find whole wheat pastry flour, so I used regular whole wheat flour. I also used 1% organic milk instead of buttermilk. Rather than top these with blueberry spread, I used my father-in-law's homemade peach preserves and they were WONDERFUL!!
