History of Blueberry Muffins

Blueberries were not native to North America, but were brought here by European settlers. In Europe, blueberries had been used in all kinds of baked goods for many, many years. When settlers arrived in North America, they brought blueberry plants with them. Fortunately for us, these first plants accepted the new land they were planted in and have thrived in many parts of North America!

Note

You can toss the blueberries in 1 Tbsp of flour if your muffins turn purple. Mine never do, using frozen blueberries in the thick, cake-like batter.

Be careful not to overbake.

Don't overmix the batter, stir the dry ingredients in just until incorporated.

Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them to a wire cooling rack.

These muffins are best warm! If you are eating them cold, jsut pop them into the microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Are Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping healthy?

Well...depends on what you are comparing them to. If for example, you want healthier than a donut, then yes! On the other hand, these blueberry muffins are quite high in carbs and sugars so not really the healthiest breakfast option out there. I believe in everything in moderation though and just make sure to have a healthy protein with my blueberry muffin:-)

Can I use fresh blueberries in this recipe?

Yes, you can use either fresh or frozen blueberries in this muffin recipe. Fresh blueberries are harder to fold into the thick batter and the muffins will cook a couple of minutes faster than using the frozen. I use frozen because I always have a bag of frozen blueberries in my freezer.

Can I freeze Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping?

Yes, once the muffins have completely cooled, place in a large sealed bag. They will keep up to 3 months this way.

How long do Blueberry Streusel muffins keep?

These muffins will last for 4-5 days at room temperature or 7 days refrigerated.
