10 Tips for When Cooking This Dish

  1. Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen ones work well too—just don’t thaw them before adding to the batter.

  2. Toss the blueberries in a little flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

  3. Don’t overmix the batter—stir until just combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

  4. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking to help with the muffin rise.

  5. Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin.

  6. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a bakery-style crunchy topping.

  7. Check muffins a few minutes before the timer goes off to prevent overbaking.

  8. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

  9. Warm leftover muffins in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to refresh them.

  10. Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for an extra fresh, citrusy twist.
