Ingredients to Make Blueberry Muffins
Blueberry muffins are simple to make and require few ingredients. You can easily make muffins with ingredients that you already have in your house, and it doesn’t take a lot of extra skill to make something flavorful.
Here is what you will need to make blueberry muffins:
- All-purpose flour
- Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Oil or butter
- Milk (dairy or other)
- Eggs
- Salt or Vanilla (optional)
- 2 bowls
- Muffin tins and liners (or something to grease the pan)
If you have specific food restrictions, like allergies or religious reasons, you can easily substitute ingredients to your needs.
In this recipe, consider substitutes for milk, eggs, and oil.
For the milk, you can use any other type of milk that you prefer. Almond milk works great in this recipe.
Instead of oil, try using butter. This gives the muffins a richer flavor.
If you don’t eat eggs, then you can substitute them for something else. Flax seed and applesauce are good choices.
The Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Once you have everything together, here is how you make Blueberry Muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 425-degrees
- Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl
- Mix the wet ingredients in the second bowl, including blueberries
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients
- Stir until mixed with clumps remaining, let sit
- Grease or line the muffin tin
- Fill each muffin cup up to ⅔
- Bake muffins in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown
- Remove from oven, let sit until cool enough to eat
Variations of Blueberry Muffins
If you like blueberry muffins but want something slightly different, there are a few variations that you can try to truly make it your own recipe.
Instead of making blueberry muffins, try making them orange muffins instead. All you have to do is switch the blueberries for orange zest and a little orange juice. Then, mix the orange zest with the dry ingredients and the orange juice with the wet ingredients.
Okay, that’s nice, but you can also try applesauce muffins as well. It’s different because they still have a sweet flavor profile, but they have a smooth texture and more savory notes. Plus, you can make them without eggs if you are allergic to eggs. All you have to do is replace the eggs with applesauce and omit the blueberries.
With just a few changes, you can turn blueberry muffins into a range of different breakfast options.
