Ingredients
Simple pantry staples make up the ingredient list for these Homemade Blueberry Muffins.
All-Purpose Flour- There is no need for any fancy flours for this recipe, all-purpose flour is a pantry staple and the stabilizer for these muffins.
Granulated Sugar- The perfect sweetener for these blueberry muffins. You can always use light brown sugar to a more caramelized flavor, but it will change the texture and consistency of these muffins.
Baking Powder- The leavening agent for the muffins. Do not replace this with baking soda, you will end up with a completely different muffin.
Eggs- Use large eggs at room temperature
Butter and Oil- The combination of the butter and oil will add the fat that the muffins need for moisture and flavor. Make sure the butter is melted and cooled!
Buttermilk- I love the flavor that buttermilk brings to these muffins. The acid from the buttermilk will react with baking powder and create a perfect tender texture. If you don't have buttermilk you can make you own with one cup of whole milk and one tablespoon vinegar mixed together and allow it to sit for 10 minutes
Lemon Zest- Adding the perfecting fresh flavor. Make sure to only add the zest, not the juice!
Blueberries- I really love using fresh blueberries for this muffin recipe. You can replace the fresh for frozen but it will change the texture of the muffin.
Step By Step Instructions
Homemade Blueberry Muffins can be made in a short amount of time and no mixer required. Easy, fast and delicious!

Tips and FAQ'S To Make the Best Blueberry Muffins
Tips to make the perfect muffins every time!
Muffin Size- This recipe is calculated for a regular muffin size, but these muffins can be made in a mini muffin pan or a large muffin pan. You will need to adjust the baking time, but they will still taste delicious!
Fresh Vs. Frozen Blueberries- Some recipes work great with frozen blueberries, but in this one I love the flavor and texture that the fresh blueberries bring. If you don't have or can't get fresh blueberries, frozen will work great and still create a delicious muffin.
Gluten Free Muffins- This recipe is made with all-purpose flour, but can be substituted with the 1 for 1 gluten free flour.
