INGREDIENT NOTES
These are some of the key ingredients for this recipe. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.
- Vegetable oil: Oil: Use a flavor neutral oil, such as canola oil.
- Sour cream: Bring it out to let it come to room temperature before making the recipe. If you don't have sour cream then full-fat plain greek yogurt also works.
- Whole-milk: Let the milk come to room temperature before making the recipe.
- Blueberries: Use either frozen or fresh blueberries. If frozen, don't defrost them before using, just add them to the batter frozen. You can switch the blueberries out with any other berries you'd like.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Here is how to make and bake these Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins. This recipe doesn't need an electric mixer. Just one large bowls, a whisk and a rubber spatula.
The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.
STEP 1: In a large bowl add melted butter and granulated sugar and whisk together until combined. Then add the egg, whole milk, sour cream and vanilla extract and whisk it together until combined.
STEP 2: Place a sieve on the bowl and sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter with a spatula.
STEP 3: Add blueberries and 1 tablespoon of flour to a bowl and stir to coat the blueberries with flour. Add the blueberries and the extra flour and gently fold it into the batter. Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and let the batter rest for 1 hour.
While the batter rests, preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF conventional oven.
STEP 4: Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with 6 paper liners, only lining every other cupcake hole, as it helps them to dome up. Grease around the edge of the cupcake holes, with cooking spray, for the muffins to release easily. Then make the streusel topping.
STEP 5: For the streusel, add the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar to a bowl. Give it a mix with a fork until combined. Melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients and mix it together with a fork until it forms a crumble structure.
STEP 6: Divide the cake batter into the 6 cupcake liners, so each cupcake holder is filled to the top. Top the muffins with the streusel and bake them for 7 minutes and then reduce the heat to 175ºC/350ºF and further bake for 10 -13 minutes.
STEP 7: Let the muffins cool in the hot pan on a wire rack. After 5 minutes, remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool down additionally for 15-20 minutes before eating.
EXPERT BAKING TIPS
- Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
- Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper in the bottom. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.
FAQ
Yes, technically they can rest for just 15 minutes, BUT they will not come out as tall as when you let it sit 1 hour. By allowing the muffin batter rest for 1 hour, the starches in the flour have the opportunity to gradually absorb the liquid, leading to their swelling which results in a thicker batter. This process results in muffins coming out of the oven with increased moisture, tenderness, and height.
Yes, you can either make the batter the night before, and covered with cling film, let it rest in the fridge overnight. Or they can be baked and stored in an airtight container. They'll stay moist for 2 days.
I recommend using a cake tester. Once the time has passed, per the recipe, insert the cake tester in the middle of one of the muffins and once it comes out clean, with no cake batter on it, then they're done.
STORAGE
Store these Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within a 1-2 days.

I would love to try this. Sounds amazing. Do you have a conversion recipe with cups instead of grams?
Julie Marie
I'm so happy to hear that! I'm sorry the conversion wasn't there. It has been added now 🙂
Noor
Just tried this recipe and the muffins turned out amazing! Just perfect! Thank you
Julie Marie
I'm so happy to hear that 😀
Kim
Can I replace the whole milk for almond/oat milk?
Julie Marie
Yes, definitely 🙂
Michelle
Kia ora Julie,
I haven't tried this recipe yet, but have tried your other recipes before. Always turns out amazing! I was wondering what your thoughts are around replacing butter with oil or another fat content. How does that impact the baking (i know the flavour will definitely change)?
Julie Marie
Hi. I'm so so happy to hear that you enjoy my recipes 😀 You can definitely replace butter with oil. As you mention, it will affect the flavour slightly as well as the the texture, but not massively. If you replace it with oil reduce the amount with 1/4, so instead of 100 g butter use 75 g vegetable oil 🙂
Laura
Haven’t made these yet, but I just want to thank you for adding the amounts of the ingredients in the instructions. Simply genious! Why haven’t everyone thought of that?? 😊
