The Blueberry Muffin That Will Become Your Go-To

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I have been trying to take it a little easy on the baking right now. I still feel like I ate like a savage over the holidays and I should be cutting back a bit still.

Enter my favourite blueberry muffin recipe. This is my go-to muffin recipe when I just need to have a snack around that is not loaded with chocolate.

You can substitute any berry with this recipe. I have made this with blackberries, and raspberries, and I have even used peaches with it as well. I use the exact same amount as I did for the blueberries and they have always turned out.

If I don’t want the muffins to be as sweet I don’t add the topping, but seeing as I’m still eating like I’m living in sweatpants I used the topping this time.

In the photos, I did double the recipe so I am using a 2 cup measuring cup to measure the eggs, oil, and milk. You don’t have to but this recipe does double very well.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do and I hope that your eating habits are much better than mine are right now.
