Moist fluffy muffins are packed with fresh juicy blueberries all in a bite sized form. These small and tasty treats are a great grab and go breakfast idea or after school snack.

These easy blueberry muffins are the small bite sized version of our classic to die for blueberry muffins, without the crumb topping. Not only are they a great snack but they are perfect for the kids to enjoy at breakfast time.

These mini muffins would be the perfect addition to any brunch. Mini blueberry muffins are also the perfect size for a snack in the kids lunch boxes.

Ingredients

This mini blueberry muffin recipe is on the same lines as our mini chocolate chip muffins. Only instead of being loaded with mini chocolate chips these are loaded with fresh blueberries, and the recipe is slightly different.

All the ingredients needed to make mini blueberry muffins.

The best mini blueberry muffins recipe is quick and easy to make with a few simple ingredients. Here are the ingredients as well as some substations.

All-purpose flour - can easily be replace with rice flour, gluten free flour, or almond flour. For most baking recipes the replacement of all purpose flour for another flour is a 1:1 substitution. Meaning 1 cup of almond flour can be substituted for 1 cup of all purpose flour.

Granulated Sugar is used for a little bit of sweetness to these mini muffins. The white sugar could be replace with brown sugar. Or you could use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. The texture of these blueberry mini muffins may be slightly different if using these other sweeteners.

Baking Powder is the leavening agent that will help the mini muffins to raise when baked.

Unsalted Butter, unlike my classic blueberry muffin recipe I decided to use butter as a replacement for vegetable oil. Since butter is a solid fat unlike oil it will help act as a leavening agent. Which will create a lighter fluffier muffin, which is perfect for these mini muffins. I chose unsalted butter to be able to have better control over the amount of salt in the recipe.

Salt does a couple of things for this muffin recipe. Not only does the salt sharpen the taste of the muffins, but it also helps prevent staleness.

Milk- helps to moisten the blueberry muffin batter. Our family has jumped around on which milk we use either whole milk or 2% which both will work for this recipe.

Egg- brings in rich color and flavor. As well as acts as a leavening agent to help with the structure of the muffins.

Vanilla extract can be replaced with almond extracts or try using a homemade bourbon vanilla extract.

Blueberries I used fresh blueberries but frozen will also work. I would allow the frozen blueberries to thaw before adding them to the batter. As frozen blueberries thaw when baked the water may cause the muffin batter to separate.

To make these mini blueberry muffins a blueberry lemon mini muffins, add in some fresh lemon juice and or lemon zest.

How To Make

It's quite simple to make these easy blueberry muffins, the butter will need to be melted in a small bowl. I like to do this first to allow it to cool some before adding it in with the rest of the ingredients. Give the butter just enough time to cool without it solidifying.

Sift together all the dry ingredients using a medium bowl and a sifter. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment combine the wet ingredients.

Into the large mixing bowl that has the wet ingredients, slowly add the dry ingredients in. Then slowly add in the melted butter, be careful not to overmix the batter.

Once the batter is all mixed together carefully fold in the fresh blueberries. Since these are mini muffins I wasn't worried about the blueberries sinking to the bottom of these blueberry muffins.

A pro tip for helping blueberries from sinking in muffins would be to coat the fresh blueberries in a bit of flour before adding into the muffin batter.

Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or use mini cupcake liners. Once the mini muffin tin is prepared scoop the blueberry muffin batter into the cups of the pan. I find it easier to use a small cookie scoop to do this but a tablespoon will also work.
