Soft, sweet and full of flavor, these Blueberry Muffins are a delicious go-to breakfast or snack recipe, especially in the summer when berries are a-plenty at the grocery store. Two bowls, one spoon and twenty minutes—done! Read on to see how to make these muffins perfect every time!
What kind of blueberries work best for baking?
The best part of blueberries is that they are easy to find. I love to use fresh when they are in season. However when frozen is all that can be found, they work just as great. No need to wait for mother nature to do her thing.

Gluten Free
If you’re gluten free or making these for someone gluten sensitive, try replacing the flour with Cup4Cup (Amazon’s price is usually the best) for a simple and still delicious gluten free plum muffin. My other favorite is King Arthur Flour’s Measure for Measure. You can read here about why Measure for Measure is my favorite.
Egg Free
Easily replace the eggs with my favorite flax seed and water substitute. 1 Tbsp flax seed mixed with 3 Tbsp of water for each egg. Whisk until the texture becomes “egg-like”. See the egg replacement chart here at my Vegan Vanilla Baked Donut recipe.
Vegan Option
Replace the eggs with the flax seed mix mentioned above. The yogurt helps these blueberry muffins retain moisture and can easily be replaced with a nut-based yogurt. There are so many options available now. If you can only find flavored vegan yogurt, get vanilla, it will barely adjust the flavor.
The honey can be replaced with maple syrup or even just granulated sugar (make sure to get vegan granulated sugar though).

How to make perfect Blueberry Muffins
- Mix your blueberries in with your flour mixture to keep them from sinking to the bottom.
- Always gently fold dry ingredients into wet to keep your muffin texture soft. Over mixing will cause dry, tough muffins.
- Scoop evenly using my favorite OXO 3 Tbsp scoop. Scooping like this will yield 12 perfect muffins.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. This is key to a great rise. This causes these blueberry muffins to shoot upward. Then lower your temp to 350°F to fully bake the center.
- Topping – Almost every muffin tastes better with a crunchy, sugary topping, and these blueberry muffins are no exception. It’s optional, but really is better with it on top.
