The BEST Blueberry Muffin Recipe (from Rhonda Bracey)
Backstory: In 1986 I had the pleasure of living and working in
Canada for some 13 months.
One of the delights of that year was discovering muffins!
Especially blueberry muffins…
I figure I’ve made thousands of blueberry muffins over the past
20+ years using this recipe – it’s so quick and easy, and they
taste delicious.
This recipe is for 12 muffins; if you want to make more, just
double or triple the ingredients. It takes about 10 minutes
preparation, then about 20 minutes cooking time.
Ingredients Equipment
Group 1
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (8 oz) milk
• ¼ cup (2 oz) melted butter or margarine
• 3 mixing bowls (1 large, 2 medium)
• Small hand-held mixer (optional)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• 12-cup muffin tray (Teflon ones are
easiest to use and keep clean! Spray
with a little oil first if you want your
muffins to slip out even easier.)
• Cooling rack
• Oven pre-heated to 400°F
Group 2
• 1½ cups (12 oz) all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
Group 3
• 1 cup (8 oz) fresh or frozen blueberries
(or 1 can if you don’t have fresh berries)
• ¼ cup (2 oz) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (4 oz) white sugar
Method
1. Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
2. In one of the medium bowls, beat the Group 1 ingredients together.
3. In the large bowl, lightly mix the unsifted Group 2 ingredients together.
4. Stir the liquid ingredients in the medium bowl (Group 1) into the dry ingredients in the large bowl
(Group 2). You’ll have something that resembles a cake mix.
5. In the third bowl, mix together the Group 3 ingredients.
6. Gently fold the Group 3 blueberry mix in to the ‘cake’ mix in the large bowl. Don’t over mix – it’s better
to have a rough mixture for muffins than a smooth one!
7. Almost fill the muffin cups (but don’t overfill) and bake at 400°F for approximately 20 minutes, or until
the tops are golden brown.
8. Turn muffins out onto a cooling rack, then eat them while they’re hot! (You can also freeze them and
reheat them in the microwave.)
