Large and in charge! These are extra jumbo blueberry muffins. Unlike my light and fluffy blueberry muffins, these jumbo blueberry muffins are bigger and taller with a denser crumb. If you usually pick up a muffin at your coffee shop, you’ll enjoy these!
These Jumbo Blueberry Muffins Are:
Sky-high with big muffin tops Jumbo, but you can easily bake in a standard or mini muffin pan Bursting with extra blueberries Moist and dense inside with a hint of cinnamon Topped with crunchy coarse sugar
Plus, there’s no mixer required and the batter comes together in less than 10 minutes. Feel free to swap the blueberries for strawberries or blackberries, too. Or try my jumbo raspberry chocolate chip muffins instead! I’ve had this blueberry muffin recipe on my blog for several years. Last year I worked to improve the recipe by adding more flavor and moisture. These changes include replacing some oil with melted butter, adding sour cream, and replacing some baking powder with baking soda. This is a variation of my master bakery-style muffin recipe and you will love the bright bursts of fresh blueberries in every single bite.
Overview: Ingredients To Use & Why
Flour: This blueberry muffin recipe uses 3 cups of all-purpose flour. The batter is thick and sturdy to keep the blueberries elevated so they won’t all sink down! Baking Powder & Baking Soda: A lot of leavener creates a significant rise. I previously used all baking powder, but I recently began adding a little baking soda too. In addition to leavening, the baking soda helps brown the exterior. (The recipe below includes this change!) Vanilla Extract & Salt: Use both for flavor. Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon is optional, but I love that extra flavor here. If you don’t like cinnamon in blueberry muffins, skip it. Eggs: Eggs add moisture and bind everything together. Sour Cream or Plain Yogurt: To keep the muffins extra moist, add sour cream. It also lightens up the crumb and I highly recommend it! If needed, feel free to swap with plain yogurt instead. Sugar: Use granulated sugar to sweeten these muffins. Oil & Butter: Oil produces a moist, tender muffin. Combine with melted butter for extra fat, moisture, and flavor. Milk: Milk adds plenty of moisture and lightens up the crumb. I usually use whole milk, but buttermilk is a wonderful alternative. Coarse Sprinkling Sugar: For crunchy, sparkly muffin tops, add a sprinkle of coarse sugar. I like Sugar in the Raw or you can use white sparkling sugar sprinkles, usually found with the sprinkles in the baking aisle.
Mix the dry ingredients together, then mix the wet ingredients together. Combine, then spoon into the muffin pan. It’s that easy.
