These Blueberry Muffins are made from scratch with fresh blueberries! They are by far the best muffins I have ever had, they are tart and sweet and buttery.
The Best Blueberry Muffins
These Blueberry Muffins are a year round favorite at our house! I love using fresh blueberries, but if those aren’t available, frozen blueberries also work great. These muffins can be a breakfast all by themselves or a perfect side for when you’re in the mood for a big Sunday or holiday brunch. Everything is better when made from scratch. Homemade Blueberry Muffins take a little more effort than a box mix, but the difference in taste is worth it!
Blueberries are so good for you!
Blueberries are not only sweet and juicy, they are full of nutrients. Here are just some of the health benefits of blueberries:
- Blueberries are high in fiber.
- Blueberries contain more antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable. Antioxidants protect us from free radicals that damage cell structure and contribute to disease and aging.
- Blueberries are high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and Manganese.
- Studies show that blueberries may contribute to lower blood pressure.
- Along with lowering blood pressure, blueberries may help prevent heart disease.
Pass the Blueberries, Please

I made these muffins for the first time for my son who has a swim meet in the morning. They are SOOOO yummy!! But, all of my blueberries sunk to the bottom of the muffins. I have heard that if you dust walnuts in flour before you make banana bread that will prevent them from sinking. I wonder if this could work with blueberries as well? Great recipe! Thank you!
Elise says
Glad you like them! I usually make these with fresh blueberries, but I have had that happen before when using large frozen berries, probably because they are heavier. I have never tried dusting in flour. Let me know if that works!
Suzanne Guimond says
Put some of the blueberries in the flour before and stir it a bit. They won’t sink. I do this all the time 🙂
Michelle says
Yum! Just made these and they are delicious! Have been looking around for ages for a good blueberry muffin recipe. I also dusted the frozen berries in flour so they wouldn’t sink to the bottom and it seemed to work 🙂
Sheila says
I just made these but I do have one question . are they supposed to be jumbo muffins or regular sized muffins ? because I got 12 regular sized muffins from the mix , I made these for my son because 1) we’re trying to eat healthier and 2) he loves blueberry muffins . 🙂
Favorite Family Recipes says
They are supposed to be regular sized, we just got up close for the picture. 🙂

Garbage instructions. Mixing wet ingredients together will not work. Looked like a tub of curdle garbage after 10 min of mixing.
Favorite Family Recipes says
I am sorry you had this experience. You should only be mixing the ingredients until they are just combined. Mixing them for 10 minutes will alter the texture of the ingredients and mess up the recipe. 1-2 minutes should be sufficient. Hope this helps!
