Blueberry Muffins
These giant blueberry muffins are full of sweet juicy berries and topped with cinnamon and sugar for a decadent bakery experience you can make at home.
Did you know that July 10th, on top of being my mother-in-law’s birthday, is also National Blueberry Muffin Day? I sure didn’t’, but I know that both are definitely worth celebrating.
There’s a reason that blueberry muffins are a classic. The best blueberry muffins are tender and delicate with a crumbly texture, and full of juicy blueberry flavor. Even if you grew up never eating blueberry muffins, there’s just something about a pan of muffins that just feels like home, you know?
These muffins are no exception – they’re giant – the batter is very thick, so you can pile the batter right to the top of the muffin cups which makes for a great big muffin top (which we all know is the best part) that gets sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar for a crispy crunchy muffin top.

Recipe details
Ingredients
Blueberry Muffins
- 1 stick of unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar mixture for topping
Instructions
To Make Blueberry Muffins
- Preheat your oven to 375 and line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy (if using a hand mixer this will take about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the baking powder, and mix to incorporate.
- Add 1 cup of the flour and mix in. Then add 1/4 cup of the milk and mix to combine. Repeat with remaining flour and milk.
- Once the milk and flour are added, mash 1/2 cup of the blueberries with a fork, and stir those in. Then add the vanilla extract and the blueberries, and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cups, going all the way to the top of the cups, if not a little bit over - the batter will hold.
- Combine 2 teaspoons of sugar with a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and sprinkle that over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Let the muffins sit for 2 minutes before removing them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
