Blueberry Muffins

Best Blueberry Muffins

Everyone needs a good recipe for blueberry muffins, and this recipe is it! These muffins are soft and buttery, packed with blueberries and topped with a crunchy streusel topping.

There are two secrets to making the very best blueberry muffins every time. First, don’t over mix the batter. This will ensure a tender crumb. Second, toss the blueberries with a bit of flour before folding them into the batter. This will ensure your batter stays yellow, rather than turning purple.

If you’re not in the mood to make the streusel topping, generously sprinkle muffins with Sugar In The Raw for a crunchy, golden finish. Yum! Need some other easy breakfast ideas? Try our Buttermilk Biscuits, Simple Vanilla Scones, Easy Egg CupsCoffee Cake, or Sausage & Egg Casserole. Enjoy!
