Delicious Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    Make sure to preheat the oven for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

    Sifting the flour can help create a lighter muffin.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.

    Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.

    Make sure the butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Fold in Blueberries

    Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, being careful not to break the berries.

    Coating the blueberries in flour can prevent them from sinking.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

    Sprinkle brown sugar on top for a crunchy texture.
  8. Bake

    Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
