Blueberry Muffin Recipe Tips
Here are a couple tips for making muffins. If you over-mix the batter, your muffins will not be moist. They’ll be dense. Because of this, I use a fork to mix the batter. Place all your dry ingredients in a flour sifter. After you sift everything into a large bowl, you’ll add the wet ingredients. Use your fork to mix the wet ingredients. Once the egg is combined well with the other wet ingredients, add the blueberries. Adding the blueberries to the wet ingredients means less mixing when you combine the wet with the dry which means moister, lighter muffins. This simple trick not only saves time, but achieves an end result you and your family will love.
My other tip is to leave a few lumps when mixing. I’m not talking about big clumps because they won’t incorporate as the muffins bake. Having a little lump here and there will incorporate with the wet ingredients as the blueberries soften and their juices run. These blueberry muffins won’t disappoint you!
