    Blueberries are only in season for a couple of months of the year, but with this recipe, you can make delicious muffins with berries that were frozen at their peak!

    I previously shared a low-carb lemon blueberry muffin recipe, but since I am no longer eating a low-carb diet I figured it was high time to share a more traditional muffin recipe.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    ingredients for homemade blueberry muffins inluding frozen blueberries, sugar, butter, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and flour
    • Frozen Blueberries (of course you can also use fresh)
    • Butter
    • White and brown sugar (you can swap with your favorite sugar substitutes)
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla Extract
    • All-Purpose Flour or gluten-free baking flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Buttermilk or one-half of a cup of milk + one-half of a teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice (find out more about substituting buttermilk and why it is important in baking here!)
    • This recipe also includes an optional crumble topping which will require Flour, sugar, cinnamon, and butter. If you would prefer you could skip the crumble and leave them plain or top them with turbinado sugar.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    As soon as you are ready to get started, set your blueberries out at room temperature so they can thaw out a little bit.

    a glass bowl filled with an uncooked crumble topping and a black utensil.

    Prepare the crumble topping first by combining the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Set this aside for later. If you don't want the crumble, then skip this step.

    Next, combine the butter and sugars. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy and the sugar has begun to melt.

    Add the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing just until everything is smooth and incorporated.

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Then alternate adding half of the flour mixture with half of the buttermilk, mixing after each addition.

    Sprinkle the crumble topping over the tops of the muffins. Bake the muffins at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before enjoying them!

    Storage

    Store leftover muffins in a sealed container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 6 months.

    You can enjoy the muffins cold or pop them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to warm them up. (I LOVE these muffins warm and smeared with a dab of butter!)

    FAQs

    Can I use regular milk in place of buttermilk?

    Yes. You can use regular milk or even your favorite milk substitute in place of the buttermilk. You can also make a great buttermilk substitute by adding 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk.

    Can I use other fruits in place of blueberries?

    Yes. You can use pretty much any berry interchangeably for the blueberries. You can also use this recipe with chocolate chips or cherries (check out my low-carb orange cherry muffins!)

    What does buttermilk do in muffins?

    Not only does buttermilk add a little bit of tartness to baked goods, but it also helps to keep the muffins moist and tender.

    Is it better to use fresh or frozen blueberries for muffins?

    Of course, using fresh, in-season berries is the best possible option for blueberry muffins. But, when blueberries aren't in season frozen blueberries are a great and convenient option.

    Equipment

    • Large Mixing Bowl
    • Measuring Cups and Spoons
    • Muffin Tin
    • Muffin Liners
    • Electric Mixer optional
    • Ice Cream Scoop with Trigger Release optional

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups Frozen Blueberries
    • ½ cup Butter softened
    • 1 cup Sugar
    • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
    • 2 Large Eggs
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
    • ½ teaspoon Salt
    • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
    • ½ cup Buttermilk

    For the topping:

    • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
    • ¼ cup Sugar
    • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
    • 2 tablespoon Butter melted

    Instructions
     

    • Before you begin, measure your blueberries and set them out at room temperature while you prepare the batter. Preheat the oven to 375° F and line a 12 cavity muffin tin with muffin liners and/or spray with non-stick spray.
      2 cups Frozen Blueberries

    For the topping:

    • In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and combine. The mixture will be dry and crumbly. Place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the muffins.
      ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour, ¼ cup Sugar, ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon, 2 tablespoon Butter

    For the muffins:

    • Add the butter and sugars to a large mixing bowl. Beat them with an electric mixer on medium until the butter turns pale yellow, becomes light and fluffy, and the sugar has begun to melt.

    • Add half of the flour mixture along with half of the buttermilk (¼ cup) to the butter mixture. Stir to combine, then repeat with the remaining flour mixture and buttermilk.
      ½ cup Buttermilk
    • Fold the blueberries into the batter.
    • Divide the batter evenly between the 12 prepared muffin liners using about ¼ cup of batter per muffin. To make it easier, use a cookie or ice cream scoop with a trigger release!
    • Remove the topping from the fridge and break up the crumbs with your fingertips, sprinkling the crumbs over the tops of the muffins, about 1 tablespoon per muffin.
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (aside from some blueberry juice of course!)
