    classic blueberry muffins

    This spin on the famous Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins is the recipe you need if you're looking for a classic, tried-and-true recipe that everyone in your family is sure to love 

    These blueberry muffins are easy to make and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or anytime you want a quick and tasty treat. With just a few simple steps, you'll be on your way to baking up some delicious blueberry goodness! 

    Ingredients

    • Butter: You’ll need 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter. You want your butter to be at room temperature so make sure you take it out of the fridge a bit earlier.
    • Sugar: Add ¾ cup of white sugar and reserve 2 extra tablespoons to sprinkle on top of your blueberry muffins before baking them.
    • Eggs: You’ll also need 2 eggs
 for this recipe. Eggs will make your blueberry muffins super light and fluffy but you can use flax eggs if you prefer.
    • Vanilla extract: Add 2 teaspoons of good-quality vanilla extract.
    • Lemon: Add around 2 teaspoons of lemon zest. You want it to be tangy so make sure you get a fresh lemon.
    • Flour: For your blueberry muffin batter, you’ll need 2 spooned and leveled cups of flour, plus 1 extra tablespoon, reserved.
    • Baking Powder: You’ll need around 2 teaspoons of baking powder
.
    • Milk: Add ½ cup of milk. I use almond milk but you can put any milk of your choice.
    • Blueberries: You’ll need 2 cups of blueberries. Rinse and drain them, and keep some to add on top of your blueberry muffins before baking. 
    • 
Salt: Add ½ teaspoon of salt.

    How To Make Classic Blueberry Muffins

    1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners.
    2. Cream the butter and ¾ cup sugar for about 2 minutes until they’re light and fluffy.
    3. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition.
    4. Add your vanilla extract and lemon zest and beat until mixed in.
    5. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder, and add them to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk (this is important for the final texture, don’t skip it). Do not over-mix the flour.
    6. Fold the blueberries into the batter.
    7. Evenly fill the cupcake liners with batter. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins each with a big pinch of sugar.
    8. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.
    9. Remove your blueberry muffins from the tin and cool for at least 30 minutes.
