Easy Blueberry Muffins
Thanks to my in-laws and their prize blueberry bushes, we almost always have extra blueberries in our freezer. That means you’ll find a variety of blueberry recipes here on Life, Love, and Good Food—yum, yum!
So, if you’re a blueberry fan like me, today you’re in luck! Besides sharing this original recipe for Easy Blueberry Muffins by Inspired Taste—which are delicious, moist, and bursting with blueberries.
Besides this delicious muffin recipe, I’ve collected a list below of my favorite blueberry recipes for your convenience.
First, let me tell you just a little about these muffins. To start, if you’re looking for a way to brighten someone’s day, make a double-batch to share and watch them smile.
These muffins are literally bursting with blueberries, and they don’t all end up in the bottom of the muffin.
How? Well, this batter will be very thick which helps hold the berries in place. Fresh or frozen blueberries may be used in this recipe.
Also, it’s very important to remember that muffins get tough if you over mix the batter. Use your will power and only stir until the dry ingredients are barely incorporated and no more.
PRO TIP: If you use frozen blueberries in this recipe, don’t let them thaw before adding to the batter.

Finally got a chance to make these…. delicious!! Very easy and my son gave them 2 thumbs up!! And the berries stayed in the muffin instead of falling to the bottom. Will add this recipe to my favorites for sure!
After reading the massive amount of ingredients in store-bought muffins, and I SO happy to have found this recipe!!! It’s so easy and the family loves these. Thanks so much!!
Oh, thank you so much!
Could I also use cranberries for this? Love it as is but if it’d work for other fruit, all the better!
