Pro Tips

  1. Toss the blueberries in flour to keep them from sinking.
  2. Don’t overmix—mix just until the batter comes together for soft muffins.
  3. Use sour cream for that bakery-style moist texture.
  4. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top for that Starbucks-style sparkle.
  5. Let them cool a bit before unwrapping—they hold together better that way.

🔄 Substitutions & Variations

  • No sour cream? Use plain Greek yogurt.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries? Both work—just don’t thaw frozen ones.
  • Want lemon flavor? Add 1 tsp lemon zest to the batter.
  • Gluten-free? Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.

Make-Ahead Tips

  • Bake ahead & freeze—they reheat beautifully in the microwave or oven.
  • Store on the counter for 2–3 days or in the fridge up to 5.
