Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins

Last updated on June 5th, 2026

These Blueberry Muffins are soft, sugar-crusted and bursting with blueberries in every bite. The perfect simple and delicious breakfast!

This is our favourite blueberry muffin recipe. They’re made with just a handful of pantry staples, and unlike most muffin recipes there’s no oil involved. With just the right balance of sweet and tart, they’re light, tender and packed with fresh (or frozen) berries.

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these Blueberry Muffins

• ½ cup (120 grams) butter, melted and cooled (sub dairy free)
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon (5 grams) vanilla
• ½ cup (125 grams) milk (sub dairy free)
• 2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup (160 grams) granulated sugar + 1 teaspoon (4 grams), divided
• 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
• 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
• 2 cups (200 grams) blueberries

Muffins are one of my favourite things to bake. They’re easy to make, they bake up quickly and the flavour possibilities are endless. A healthy-ish breakfast, dessert or afternoon snack, they also make a wonderful gift that everyone will appreciate.

These Blueberry Muffins are a quick and easy recipe you can have baked in under an hour. Make them early in the day and serve them warm for breakfast!

• Stir the berry mixture into the wet ingredients just until combined.

Notes

To make gluten free: Use an equal amount of your favourite good quality 1:1 gluten free flour blend.

Frozen berries: While I love the caramelization that comes with baking with fresh blueberries, frozen berries work just as well. They also cost less and are a little sweeter because they’ve been harvested at their peak. If using from frozen, reminder to measure and add the blueberries straight from the freezer. Do not thaw or the juices will seep into the batter.

Make ahead: Once mixed, batter made with fresh berries will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.

Storage: Muffins will keep well in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days, in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. A well-sealed freezer bag may also be used.

To reheat: Thaw frozen muffins on the counter overnight. To warm them up, microwave for 12-15 seconds or return to oven-safe baking sheet at 350ºF (177ºC) for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
