Blueberry Muffins Ingredients

Plain Flour - I used plain flour for making this muffin which provides lighter and soft texture. But you can use wheat flour when making muffins for a healthy alternative.

Baking Powder - baking powder helps to make the muffin lighter and fluffier.

Butter - always use the best quality unsalted butter for making muffins so you can control the salt level in the muffin.

Sugar - Use either granulated or caster sugar for making muffins.

Egg - I used egg in this muffin recipe. if you want egg alternative, refer my eggless strawberry muffins.

Blueberries - use sweet blueberries for best flavour and taste in muffins. You can use fresh or frozen thawed blueberries.

Milk - milk helps lighten the batter in consistency and texture.

Success Tips for Perfect Muffin Top

Achieving perfect muffin top is not rocket science. You need to do few adjustment in measurements also few baking techniques. Here are my tips for domed muffin top.

1)Rest the batter - Make the batter as mentioned. Don't over mix the batter and also rest the batter for 15 mins before baking. This allow the starch molecules to absorb and swell create a thicker batter.

2)Fill every other holes - While filling the batter in muffin pan, fill every other hole in muffin tray, this allows the muffins to rise better without disturbing the other muffins baking.

3)Fill as much as you can - fill your muffin pan super full. use as much batter as you can to pack in the mould. I like to fill it upto the top.

4)Increase Baking Powder - the amount of leavening agent you add in this should be slightly more than the regular recipes. Follow my measurements to the 'T'and you should be rewarded with the perfect muffins.

Choosing Right Blueberries

Blueberries are the star of the show. It is important to choose the best quality blueberries. Use sweet fresh blueberries for best flavour and taste in muffins. Blueberries have delicate skins and juicy flesh. If you add them in the beginning there are chances of it getting mushy. So add it in the end, and fold gently and bake.

Fresh Blueberries - as always fresh blueberries are best. Specially when they are in season. Make sure you pick a bunch of fresh berries and make this amazing muffins.

Frozen Blueberries - The next best thing to fresh berries is frozen. When fresh berries is not available, you can use frozen berries. Make sure you thaw the blueberry and use.

Dried Blueberries - I have made muffins using dried blueberries. Even though they taste different but it is equally delicious. Check my lemon blueberry muffins.
