It’s Friday. So I’m thinking homemade, from scratch, blueberry muffins are in order.

Like I even handpicked the blueberries for ya!

Have you ever gone blueberry picking? If you haven’t you must! Wednesday I took my girls picking for the very first time in all our lives, and it was so much fun. I’m pretty sure we will be making it a yearly tradition because together we picked 7.75 pounds of blueberries, almost filing the whole bucket and it only cost me twelve dollars!

All-in-all it was a pretty darn fun day. Even if we woke up at the butt-crack of dawn or 7 am. It was the whole entire experience of picking our own blueberries, coming home to wash, pick through, freeze, package and store roughly 12 cups or so of blueberries which is probably enough to last us for the next year.

Blueberry picking is like a full time job.

So on our ride home from Hazen’s Farm, we talked about all the things we want to make with the blueberries we picked. First up blueberry muffins. I suggested for the girls to make them and I’ll take the photos. I was super excited, they were not so much – at first.  But I had to blog these muffins. So that would explain the little and semi-little hands you see in the pictures. Aren’t they cute?

But the payoff for all our hard labor was deliciously warm muffins bursting all over the place with fresh, tart, beauutiful blueberries. It’s almost impossible not eat 2 right off the bat. I so didn’t, only I totally did.

stuff

To Make These Homemade Blueberry Muffins You Will Need:

  • unsalted butter
  • granulated sugar
  • eggs
  • pure vanilla extract
  • baking powder
  • kosher salt
  • unbleached all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
  • whole milk
  • fresh blueberries
  • sugar in the raw or sparkling sugar – for sprinkling

My youngest did this set up. I’m telling you, she’s a pro.

butter

In a mixing bowl, add 1 stick of softened butter.

beat it

Blend until smooth.

sugar

Add in 1 cup of sugar. Here’s the deal, I don’t like SUPER SWEET muffins when they have fresh berries in them. The berries are sweet all on their own, so I don’t want to be over sugaring the batter. But if you would like a sweeter batter try adding an additional quarter cup.

add eggs

Crack and add the 2 eggs, mixing after each one.

They each took turns – how cute!

vanilla, baking powder, salt

Next add in 1-1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.

1 cup flour

Add 1 cup of all purpose flour and blend just until incorporated.

12 cup milk

Alternate with the milk, pouring only 1/4 cup of the milk and blend.

2nd cup of flour

Repeat with the remaining 2 cups of flour.

second half cup of milk

And pour in the last of the milk.

mixed

Mix on medium until the flour and milk are combined and the batter is smooth and thick.

stirring

Mix about 1 tablespoon of flour with 2-3/4 cups of fresh blueberries.

Is it me or does she look thrilled?

folded

Carefully fold them in.

filled

Divide the batter among a standard muffin pan that is lined with parchment liners.

dusting

Sprinkle with a little sugar in the raw. This will add a little textural crunch and the necessary sparkle ;).

sprinkled with sugar in the raw

Bake in a 375° oven for 15-18 minutes. Rotate the pan for even baking. The muffins are done when they spring back when touched.
