You can make these with fresh or frozen blueberries – if you use frozen, do not thaw the blueberries. For mini muffins, the baking time will be less — keep an eye on them while they bake and expect them to require 9 to 11 minutes. Batter Thickness: The batter should be thick and “scoopable” — not runny and not dry or extra thick like dough. If the batter is too runny, add flour, a tablespoon at a time until correct consistency. If batter is dry or too thick, add milk, a tablespoon at a time until the proper consistency.

How To Make homemade mini blueberry muffins

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400 degrees F. For big-topped muffins, line 8 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners. For standard-size muffins line 10 muffin cups. Fill the remaining cups with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to help the muffins bake evenly.

    MAKE BATTER Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add oil to a measuring jug that holds at least 1 cup. Add the egg then fill the jug to the 1-cup line with milk (1/3 to 1/2 cup milk). Add vanilla and whisk to combine. Add milk mixture to the bowl with dry ingredients then use a fork to combine. Do not over mix. (The muffin batter will be quite thick — see note below for more details). Fold in the blueberries.
