Can You Use Frozen Blueberries
Yes, you can make these with fresh or frozen blueberries. Obviously, you can’t find fresh sweet blueberries all year round. If you use frozen, do not thaw the blueberries, just mix them in the batter
gently otherwise they will color the muffins purple!
How To Create Perfect Top
All refrigerated ingredients should be at room temperature before making the batter for at least 30 minutes.
Muffin batter must be thick.
Fill your muffin tins all the way to the top.
Bake at initial high temperature for 5 minutes then lower it. Initial high temperature baking quickly lifts up muffin tops.
Why Muffins Turn Out Dry
Your muffins turned out dry and crumbly instead of moist and soft?
In order to avoid that make sure not to over mix the batter and don’t over bake muffins.
Should Batter Be Thick?
The batter should be thick (but not as a dough) not runny or dry. If the batter is too runny, add flour, a tablespoon at a time until correct consistency. If the batter is dry or too thick, add milk, a tablespoon at a time until the proper consistency.
How To Make Batter
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan (or jumbo 6-cup muffin pan) with non-stick cooking spray or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and set aside.
Place oil into a measuring bowl, add the egg and add enough milk to reach the 1-cup mark (1/3 to 1/2 cup milk).Add vanilla and almond and whisk to combine.
Add milk mixture to the bowl with dry ingredients then use a fork to combine. Do not over mix the batter. The muffin batter will be quite thick and that’s exactly what you need. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Bake Muffins
Divide batter between each muffin cup, filling all the way to the top.
Sprinkle with sugar for extra crunchiness (highly recommended).
Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops are lightly golden brown and centers are
set. To check for doneness stick a toothpick in the center of a muffin, if it comes out clean, the muffins are done. Do not over bake or the muffins will be dry. Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes and enjoy warm.
How To Store And Freeze Blueberry Muffins
You can store these blueberry muffins sealed in a plastic bag at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
To freeze, cool completely then wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in freezer bags.
Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator or keep them for 3-4 hours on counter.
To reheat, microwave on high for about 20 seconds or out them in the oven.
Tips:
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries.
The batter is extremely thick and a pleasure to work with, and really holds the blueberries in place preventing them from sinking to the bottom before it cooked all the way.
If the batter is too runny, add flour, a tablespoon at a time until correct consistency.
If the batter is dry or too thick, add milk, a tablespoon at a time until the proper consistency.
Do not over bake or the muffins will be dry.
