Recipe Description: This delightful recipe for Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins has been a cherished part of my culinary repertoire since February 2005. It holds a special place not only because of its scrumptious taste but also because it’s an adopted recipe that has won the hearts of 11 members who found it perfect just the way it is. In the spirit of culinary exploration, I did incorporate a subtle twist by heeding the suggestion of one reviewer to add 1 teaspoon of vanilla, which indeed elevated the flavor profile. Additionally, I opted for 1/2 cup of canola oil instead of butter, a modification that not only imparts a unique richness but also caters to dietary preferences.

Recipe Yield: 6-12 muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions:
-
Sift dry ingredients: Begin by sifting together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. This step ensures a smooth and evenly textured batter.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted, slightly browned butter. This combination creates a luscious base for the muffins.
-
Combine dry and wet ingredients: Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture. Gently and quickly mix the ingredients until just combined. The key here is not to overmix, maintaining the muffins’ light and fluffy texture.
-
Fold in blueberries: To ensure a delightful burst of blueberry goodness in every bite, fold in the blueberries that have been mixed with a bit of the flour mixture. This prevents them from sticking together and distributes them evenly.
-
Spoon into muffin cups: Grease your muffin cups and spoon the batter into each cup. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider making giant muffins for an extra special treat.
-
Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the muffins until they achieve a golden-brown perfection. The baking time may vary based on the size of your muffins, so keep a close eye. In my experience with the larger muffins, it took around 35 minutes to achieve the ideal texture and color.
Serve and Enjoy: Once out of the oven, let the aroma of freshly baked Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins fill your kitchen. Allow them to cool slightly before indulging in the irresistible combination of moist, flavorful muffins with the burst of sweet blueberries. Whether shared with friends, family, or savored as a personal treat, these muffins are bound to become a cherished part of your baking repertoire. Happy baking! 🧁✨
