Muffins are a beloved breakfast treat in our household – especially with my son. They’re easy to make, portable, and come in a variety of flavors. But a warm, freshly baked classic blueberry muffin is still our favorite! Bursting with juicy blueberries and a tender crumb, these muffins are the perfect way to start your day. In this recipe, we’re using fresh blueberries to create moist and fluffy muffins that are sure to be a hit with the whole family. Whether you enjoy them with a cup of coffee or on the go, these blueberry muffins are the perfect breakfast treat.
Have allergies to consider or are you cutting out animal products? Ener-G Egg Replacer and Earth Balance dairy-free butter are my favorite substitutes for baking! They act the same as eggs and butter in baked goods so you can still have your favorites while navigating different types of dietary restrictions.
Storage
These blueberry muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
The muffins can also be frozen for up to three months. To freeze the muffins, allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy them, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight. You can also reheat them in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go.
Keep in mind that freezing and thawing may affect the texture of the muffins, but they should still be delicious!
