Blueberry Muffins

Perfect for breakfast w/ cheesy scrambled eggs and maple sausage!

Initially made these for *breakfast for dinner* and continued to enjoy the muffins as breakfast, snack, and dessert – just for the next 2 days (and they only lasted that long as my kid wasn’t home half that time!).

These are super juicy w/ big berries and awesomely fluffy! 

TIPS: To make this recipe Keto or LowCarb, sub the all-purpose flour out for coconut flour (1/2 cup for batter + 1/2 tsp for coating blueberries) and it’s about the sugar for one cup of Keto-friendly granulated sweetener. For an even healthier muffin sub out the vegetable oil for coconut oil – if you use unrefined you’ll get the benefit of a *coconutty* flavor in your muffins.

Blueberry Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups + 2 tsp all-purpose flour, divided (2 cups for batter, 2 tsp for coating blueberries)
• 12 oz fresh blueberries
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup full-fat sour cream
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground sea salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda

Directions

1. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners.
2. Rinse and drain 12 oz blueberries, then pat dry w/ paper towels. I gently spread on doubled-up paper towels then use more towels to pat.
3. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
4. In a large bowl, beat together 2 room temp eggs, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt on high speed for about 4 mins, until color of mixture has significantly lightened.
5. Add 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, then mix on a low speed until just combined.
6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp baking soda.
7. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, 1/3 at a time, beating on a low speed with each addition, until just combined. DO NOT OVERBEAT (you’ll lose the fluffiness!).
8. In a gallon-size Ziplock bag, toss air-dried 12 oz blueberries with 2 tsp all purpose flour.
9. Gently upend coated 12 oz blueberries into batter. Don’t discard your bag!
10. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold blueberries into batter until just combined.
11. Transfer batter into the Ziplock bag then make a diagonal cut across one of the bottom corners. You’re essentially creating a low-key piping bag. Make sure the hole is large enough to allow passage of a few blueberries at a time or they’ll get squished in this process.
12. Pipe batter equally into cupcake cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way.
13. Bake for 30 mins on the middle rack, until muffin tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
14. Once removed from the oven, allow to cool in tins for 5 mins, then transfer muffins onto a wire rack to fully cool before serving.
