Homemade Blueberry Muffins from scratch are a breakfast sweet treat my boys really enjoy. Made with simple ingredients like butter, sour cream, and blueberries, this recipe is quick and easy to make. And the muffins are moist and delicious!
Homemade Blueberry Muffins are a rare breakfast sweet treat in our home, but when I do make them, my boys really enjoy them. Usually I'll surprise the kids with a batch of muffins, like strawberry blackberry muffins, or banana bread on one of those (also) rare, non-busy weekends.
This blueberry muffin recipe is really quick and easy to make. I like to use simple ingredients, so I usually always have what I need on hand.
I also like that these muffins aren't too sweet. They're still sweet enough for a breakfast or brunch time treat, but they're not so sweet that our bellies are heavy after we eat one.
Now what I really need is a new muffin pan after making these, only to realize that my muffin pan was flaking off onto my muffins. Thank goodness for Grandma's old vintage muffin pans that I still have stowed away in my cabinet.
Maybe I'll just stick with her old muffin pans because they saved the day and made some really pretty muffins.
Tips for how to make Homemade Blueberry Muffins
First of all, gather your ingredients… You'll need unsalted butter, pure cane sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream, baking powder, salt, unbleached all-purpose flour, and blueberries.
- Pre-heat the oven to 375°.
- Prepare your muffin pan by greasing each cup or adding a cupcake liner to each one.
- Cream (or mix) together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat the eggs into the mixture.
- Blend in the milk and sour cream.
- Stir in the baking powder and salt with the flour, mixing well.
- Fold the blueberries into your dough.
- Scoop the dough into the muffin cups, filling each cup 3/4 of the way full.
