Creating This Blueberry Muffin Recipe

During my time in college, I would go to my favorite local coffee shop and enjoy a coffee and a muffin while I studied. Nine times out of ten, I would choose the blueberry muffin.

Now that I’m a stay-at-home mom, I’m tempted to eat anything I bake in its entirety. I knew it was time for a smaller recipe.

The beauty of this healthy blueberry muffin recipe is it will only make two muffins and it’s fully whole wheat flour, ensuring you’ll last until lunch! No leftovers and hardly any dishes to clean up. Now, that’s my kind of breakfast.

All you need to have is a giant muffin tin and your baking ingredients!

The muffins are filling and when served warm with a pat of butter, makes for a delectable treat! The pops of blueberries are just incredible in every bite.

How to Make Blueberry Muffins for Two

To make these whole wheat blueberry muffins, simply stir together the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls. Then stir the wet ingredients into the dry, and fold the blueberries in gently.

Pour the muffin batter into two large muffin cups and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Should I Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries?

You can use either in this healthy blueberry muffin recipe! Here are a few tips to keep in mind if working with frozen blueberries:

Should I Thaw Frozen Blueberries Before Adding to the Batter?

No, keep frozen fruit frozen until ready to add. Thawed blueberries will add excess liquid and the berries won’t keep their shape as well.

Also note that frozen fruit will sink to the bottom of these muffins due to the excess moisture they contain. When subbing frozen fruit in muffins, it is best to toss them (while frozen) with a small amount of flour (about 1 tablespoon per cup of berries).

The flour will absorb some of the liquid as the berries thaw during the baking process and helps keep evenly distributed in the muffins. This trick also helps with blueberry bleed (aka turning the muffins totally blue).

If you are making gluten-free muffins by subbing an all purpose GF flour mixture, you can use that in the same amount or sub 1 teaspoon of arrowroot powder for 1 tablespoon of flour.

Will Using Frozen Berries Alter the Bake Time?

They may, because the cold frozen fruit brings down the core temperature of the batter. To help counteract this, make sure all of the other ingredients are at room temperature (think: eggs, milk, etc). Keep an eye on things and bump up the cook time 1 to 3 minutes if needed.

Can I Double This Recipe?

Yes! If you want to make a few extra muffins you can definitely double this recipe. The bake time will remain the same.

Tips for Making Blueberry Muffins

If you don’t have a giant muffin pan, you can use a regular one instead. You’ll need to shorten the bake time, and you’ll also be able to make an extra muffin or two.

If you don’t have white whole wheat flour, regular all-purpose flour should work fine in this recipe too!

Also note that if you only have salted butter on hand, you likely won’t need to add the pinch of salt into the muffin batter.
