Blueberry Muffins

The BEST Blueberry Muffin recipe! These muffins are light, fluffy, and bursting with berry flavor! | LoveGrowsWild.com

A few summers ago, I had the pleasure of helping throw a wedding brunch for my husband’s sweet uncle and his sassy, red-headed new bride. Their love affair started at dance lessons, where she needed a partner and he kindly agreed to join, and within the next 6 months they were walking down the aisle, at almost 70 years old, madly in love. It was seriously the cutest, sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.

So for this wedding brunch celebration, I spent weeks testing out all kinds of muffin recipes… lemon raspberry, triple chocolate, and delicious blueberry. These blueberry muffins were not just good… they were amazing. All the brunch guests agreed, with mouths full of fluffy buttermilk muffins. They are hands-down the best blueberry muffins I’ve ever eaten!

I posted the recipe on my blog WAY back in the beginning, before I knew how to really use a camera, and even with the sub-par photos, everyone loved this recipe as much as I did. And then a few months ago, due to some technology errors I won’t even try to pretend that I understand, I lost some of the earlier posts on my blog, including this blueberry muffin recipe. I didn’t think much about it, at first. That post was so old, that surely no one will remember it or will realize it’s gone. Then I started getting these emails…

Dear Awesome Woman That Made Our Weekend Mornings Muffin Heaven,

Where’d the recipe go?! I used it twice and these were the best muffins EVER! My 4 year old son loved making them with me! Can you please put it back on your site?
Sincerely,
Kia, mother of muffin addicts
I was blown away! People loved my recipe this much? Here’s another one I received:
Hi! I went to make the “to die for” blueberry muffins this morning, but the link was not working. Ok not a big deal at first, I just decided to try a different recipe… It was a fail, awful, awful, fail. I am really hoping the link gets fixed because it is the BEST recipe for blueberry muffins I’ve ever found. Please fix it! Thank you so much, Jessica

You guys, these emails make my day! I read every comment, every email, every tweet, and everything else in between, and these sweet words from special readers are what make all the long hours I put in worth it. I’m pretty sure every blogger around can say the same thing! If you love a recipe, send that blogger a note and tell them. I promise you it will mean the world to them!

Okay, so back to the muffins! After reading those sweet emails from my readers, I knew I had to get the recipe right back up on my site. I made a couple batches, re-photographed the muffins, and am here today to share this recipe with you once again. The photos may be just a smidge better than the first go around. Boy, what a couple years behind the lens of a camera can teach you! 😉

So what makes these muffins so good? The first key ingredient is buttermilk! I find that buttermilk in muffins makes them super tender and moist, which is exactly how I want my muffins to be. Fluffy, light, cake-like, and not the slightest bit dry. Buttermilk is a must! The second key to these amazing muffins is the cinnamon crumble topping. Oh man, is it good. I’m all about having a variety of textures in my food, and this cinnamon crumble adds the perfect crunch to the soft, tender muffins.

I hope you’ll try these muffins so you can love them as much as we do!

The BEST Blueberry Muffin recipe! These muffins are light, fluffy, and bursting with berry flavor!
Author: Liz Fourez
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • Muffins:
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour + 1 teaspoon
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • Topping:
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. For the Muffins: Preheat oven to 350ºF and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, add the buttermilk, oil, and egg and mix until well combined. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour and gently fold into the muffin batter. Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the topping. (see topping instructions below) Bake at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes. Allow muffins to cool before serving.
  2. For the Topping: Mix together the brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using a pastry cutter is easiest to cut in the butter, but 2 forks will work also!

Right now, you and other grocery shoppers across the country can help contribute to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and other local children’s charities – just by shopping for healthy fruits and vegetables at more than 17 participating grocery store chains!

Produce For Kids

Have you heard of Produce For Kids? It’s a great organization that’s all about educating families on the benefits of healthy eating, offering simple meal solutions, and raising money for children’s non-profit organizations.

So how does this campaign work? Produce For Kids is partnering with more than 35 fresh fruit and vegetables suppliers who will make a consumption-based donation to local charities. That means that the more fresh fruits and vegetables you add to your cart this spring, the more they will donate!

Meijer stores across the Midwest are participating in the Get Healthy, Give Hope campaign, and I have a $25 Meijer gift card for one lucky reader to help start your produce shopping! You can follow Produce For Kids on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest for campaign news, healthy eating tips, and delicious recipes, and be sure to load your grocery carts with plenty of fresh produce this spring!

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🥺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

You can find all the details of this room here:

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!

A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing wit A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing with my favorite humans this weekend. I have some fun things to share with you on the blog this week & several house projects going on (the dining & living room are looking SO good!!), but I need to recharge and spend some quality time doing my most important job on this Earth... taking care of my people. 🤍

What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a chance to laugh, rest, eat something delicious, and enjoy a little sunshine (even if it’s sitting indoors because it’s very brrrr outside)!

Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And also quite possibly the best place for morning snuggles, second cups of coffee, and the occasional Netflix binge. This room was “shiplapped” over 5 years ago now, but it has never felt like a passing fad or overly trendy with a mix of other vintage & traditional elements in the room. These big, wide planks have my whole heart just as much as the day we installed them back in 2015.

What’s your opinion on shiplap? In? Out? Vertical? Horizontal? Focal wall or the entire room? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL Last NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL

Last time I shared an update on Mom’s house, I had just revealed the completed renovation, and you were able to see all the freshly painted white walls, new carpet & flooring, and a very stark blank canvas. We intentionally made this space light, bright, & neutral since 1) it’s a rental home, and we want it to appeal to a variety of styles. And 2) it’s VERY small, so the light paint makes it feel much more open & spacious than dark paint would! But all those white walls were in desperate need of a warm, cozy touch, and that’s exactly what Mom and I did…
