Notes
- The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 muffin. Actual calories will vary.
- It’s important to start baking the muffins at 425°F then reduce the temperature to 350°F to give the muffins lift. Otherwise, they may overflow the pan while they bake.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, stir them in just before baking and DO NOT thaw!
- Optional: While you can absolutely bake these muffins immediately after mixing the batter, we like to cover the bowl and let the batter rest in the fridge for about an hour. This gives the flour time to hydrate and moisten which leads to a better texture in the finished muffins.
