Homemade blueberry muffins are fluffy and moist. Full of flavor with wild blueberries and a delicious crumb topping, this is the best blueberry muffin recipe!
I love homemade blueberry muffins! The ones that bake up nice and fluffy and have a delicious crumb topping! This is my go-to muffin recipe.
Fresh baked homemade muffins are one of our favorites and we often swap out the blueberries with different fruits, such as apples or peaches. Be sure and try my Apple Muffins.
Why these are the best muffins
- Easy to prepare in ONE bowl
- Made with simple ingredients
- Made with plenty of WILD blueberries for extra blueberry flavor
- Soft, cakey texture and super moist
- Delicious streusel topping with plenty of cinnamon
How to make Streusel Topping
Step 1: In a large bowl, use your hands or a spoon to combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Combine well. Set aside.
You can make crumb topping ahead of time in large batches, place into large freezer-style zip-top bags and freeze for up to 1 month.
How to make Blueberry Muffins
With only one bowl of either a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer and simple ingredients, you’ll have delicious blueberry muffins quickly. Use either fresh or frozen blueberries for this blueberry muffin recipe.
Step 1: Cream together the shortening, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Add the eggs, one a a time, mixing after each addition.
Step 3: Mix in the sour cream and milk. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
Step 4: Fold in wild blueberries with a rubber spatula. (These are the best too!! Dishwasher safe!)
Step 5: Scoop the batter evenly into paper liners, about three-fourths full.
Step 6: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of crumb (streusel) topping on each muffin.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated 375 degree F oven.
How to make Jumbo Blueberry Muffins
For these delicious jumbo blueberry muffins, I simply doubled the recipe and used an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into larger cupcake liners. Sprinkle each muffin with buttery, cinnamon crumb topping and bake as directed below.
You need to bake a few extra minutes for the jumbo muffins. As always, test with a toothpick when inserted comes out clean. Rotate your muffin tins half way through baking.
Be very gentle when turning the muffin pans, careful not to bump them and make the muffins deflate.
I use that same jumbo ice cream scoop to scoop perfect rounds for my Chocolate Chip Cookies and Molasses Cookies. It’s dishwasher safe and made in the USA!
Don’t these blueberry muffins look good!? Topped with a delicious streusel topping and so easy to make with simple ingredients. Let your muffins cool completely before removing from the baking pan.

Hey Lisa,

Janelle says
Made these as mini-muffins yesterday. The muffins turned out great and the streusel topping is scrumptious!! My only mistake was to not use cupcake liners when I baked the first set and the muffins tended to stick to the pan. These were to be used for gifts and because they did not come out of the pan nicely I ended up getting to enjoy more of them than expected. I was not disappointed!
