Super Easy Blueberry Muffin
This easy recipe for Blueberry Muffins are perfect for breakfast or at tea time.
I specially love the smell of freshly baked blueberry muffins filling my kitchen..a great way to start a day…
Fresh blueberries will be great if available but the jarred or even frozen ones will also do well. I like to have my blueberry muffins still warm from the oven.
I do not use muffin tins at all, I just double the muffin paper as long as they are sturdy enough to hold the shape while baking. Less to clean afterwards.

Hi… can i use buttermilk?
You definitely can Claire. Just replace the milk with buttermilk.
Noticed from one of your recipes, the baking powder being was mixed with the buttermilk first. Is it advisable here too? What is the effect if I do the same in the muffin recipe?
Hi Claire, it is baking soda that I mix with buttermilk, not baking powder. This combination is used as leavening/rising agent just like baking powder. The acid from buttermilk neutralized and lessen the aftertaste that baking soda may produce when heated. If you are using milk, use baking powder, otherwise, using baking soda without the acid might not give you the rise you need.
Hi Bebs!
Can i use silicone molds instead of tin?
Sure you can Gab!
can it be steamed like the puto? just wondering if its possible?
Hhhmmm… you can but it will not be the same. The texture will be totally different and you will miss the best part, the crunchy top!
I did this recipe but with finely chopped apples and cinnamon (1/4 tsp) instead of blueberries and into mini muffins and they were a hit. Used all-purpose flour. Will make again, seems you could sub out any fresh fruit.
That sounds wonderful, Kimberly. Yup, you can use other fruits or berries, the batter is really good for anything muffin.
is all purpose flour – plain flour
Hi Carey, I used Type 405 flour here in Germany which I learned is equivalent to US cake flour, but all-purpose flour would also be fine.
Really super easy and tasty! I bake a lot and this recipe is my favourite one for blueberry muffins from now on! Also excellent with chocolate chunks… 😉
Thanks Larissa and I am glad you liked it!
Hi Bebs! Can i just use normal flour? Or must be cake flour? Can i use self rising flour?
I already made many from your recipes. Thanks..
Hi Abbie, I just used all purpose flour.
