These fluffy blueberry muffins feature a tender crumb and a bakery-style crisp, sugary top. Perfect for brunch, snacks, or gifting, they come together quickly with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) fresh blueberries, tossed in 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Toss fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat and prevent sinking.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted and cooled unsalted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined; batter will be lumpy.
  6. Carefully fold the coated blueberries into the batter without breaking them.
  7. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Sprinkle coarse sugar generously on top of each muffin for a crisp finish.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for best texture. Toss blueberries in flour to prevent sinking. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a crisp, caramelized finish. If muffins brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Cool muffins on a wire rack to keep bottoms from getting soggy.
