Pro Baking Tips

Use Fresh Blueberries

Fresh berries produce less moisture and help maintain a fluffy texture.

Coat Berries in Flour

Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour before adding to the batter. This prevents them from sinking.

Don’t Overmix

Overmixing develops gluten and creates dense muffins.

Create Bakery-Style Domes

Start baking at 400°F (204°C) for the first 5 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) for the remaining time.

Storage

Room Temperature

Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.

Refrigerator

Keeps fresh for up to 1 week.

Freezer

Freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to 3 months.
