This recipe for my easy homemade blueberry muffins has been a staple in our home since the kids were little.
If you want to watch your kids do a happy dance on hectic school mornings, then you definitely need to make this recipe for blueberry muffins.
It's simple and easy and for me, homemade is always better than the bagged or boxed version on the baking aisle at the store.
When my kids were little and we homeschooled, nothing made me happier than creating easy homemade recipes for us to enjoy while we did school.
The kids would be sleeping, and while they were dreaming of running and playing, I was in the kitchen experimenting with recipes until I got it just right.
The Best Homemade Blueberry Muffins
That is how I learned to make homemade blueberry muffins. They are so soft and delicious — and they freeze well. Making this recipe for blueberry muffins from scratch will make you feel like Betty Crocker and when you and your kids take a bite into one, well, trust me — you will love it.
In fact, these muffins would taste great with my recipe for homemade butter with the KitchenAid mixer.
Having these on hand for those hectic school mornings is a great way to send your kid off with some breakfast.
We slather ours with fresh butter and enjoy with a glass of milk or orange juice.
The batter is as simple as flour, butter, milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and sugar with fresh blueberries.
I used the leftover Ranier Blueberries I had to make these. From there, you wind up with the most amazing and delicious muffins on the planet.
Trust me — you will not even be able to eat just one.
You bake them just like you would a cupcake — in cupcake liners. Be sure to fill your liners almost all the way to the top. This ensures that you get that really puffy top and that it bakes to a golden brown.
Those fresh blueberries oozing out of a hot fresh muffin will make any mouth water.
This recipe is so easy to make that you will never buy those packages of blueberry muffins ever again. They are super delicious!

Easy Homemade Blueberry Muffins
These easy homemade blueberry muffins are perfect for hectic mornings or as a delicious snack.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for muffin tops
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 to 8 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. line muffin cups with cupcake liners.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add oil to a measuring cup that holds at least 1 cup. Add the egg then fill the cup to the 1-cup line with milk (1/3 to 1/2 cup milk). Add vanilla and whisk to combine.
- Add milk mixture to the bowl with dry ingredients then use a fork to combine. Do not over mix. (The muffin batter will be quite thick).
- Take 2 tablespoons of flour and in a separate bowl, dust your blueberries. This keeps them from sinking to the bottom of your muffins. Now, fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter between muffin cups. Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin.
- Bake muffins 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are no longer wet and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out with crumbs, not wet batter. Transfer to a cooling rack.
- To store, place them in a plastic bag, seal, and store at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. To freeze, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.
