Delicious bakery-style blueberry muffins with a sweet maple glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour, for tossing blueberries
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (for glaze)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for glaze)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, milk, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the blueberries: Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter among the liners, filling each about ¾ to nearly full for tall muffin tops. Press a few extra blueberries onto the tops.
- Bake: Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Make the glaze: Stir together melted butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
- Finish: Let the muffins cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle the maple-butter glaze over the tops.
- Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy muffins.
