Notes & Tips
- Tossing the berries in flour keeps them from sinking to the bottom.
- Frozen blueberries work well — don't thaw them first, just fold in straight from the freezer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes. Add frozen blueberries directly to the batter without thawing to prevent excess moisture and color bleeding.
How do I make bakery-style muffin tops?
Fill the muffin cups about three-quarters full and sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
How do I keep muffins from being dense?
Mix the batter just until combined — overmixing develops gluten and makes muffins tough.
