Blueberry Muffins with Sour Cream

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blueberry Muffins with Sour Cream.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, get your muffin cups ready—either grease them with a light spray of cooking oil or line them with cheerful paper liners.

3. Step 3

   Next, let’s whip up a delightful topping! In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

4. Step 4

   Use two knives or a pastry blender to cut in some butter until the mixture resembles a crumbly texture.

5. Step 5

   Set this aside for now; it’s going to add a lovely crunch to your muffins.

6. Step 6

   In a larger bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

7. Step 7

   Make a little well in the center of these dry ingredients, creating a cozy spot for the wet mixture.

8. Step 8

   In a separate bowl, blend together the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until they’re well mixed.

9. Step 9

   Then, stir in the sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and creamy.

10. Step 10

    Now, pour this luscious wet mixture into the well you created in the dry ingredients.

11. Step 11

    Gently stir it all together until just combined—remember, we want to keep it tender, so don’t overmix! To add a burst of flavor, toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour to coat them, which helps them stay suspended in the batter.

12. Step 12

    Carefully fold these juicy blueberries into your muffin mixture, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

13. Step 13

    Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.

14. Step 14

    Now, sprinkle about a tablespoon of that delicious topping over each muffin for an extra touch of sweetness and texture.

15. Step 15

    Pop the muffins into your preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes.

16. Step 16

    You’ll know they’re ready when the tops spring back lightly when pressed, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

17. Step 17

    Once they’re done baking, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

18. Step 18

    This is the perfect time to enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen! After that, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

19. Step 19

    Enjoy your homemade blueberry muffins, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack any time of day!.
