Today we’re making some really yummy muffins and honestly, making muffins on a Sunday night and eating them for breakfast through the week is the absolute best!
These are my Blueberry Poppyseed Muffins, and they have just a little hint of lemon. They’re super easy to make, and it makes 12 muffins total, so let’s get to it!
One of the best parts of making muffins is just how easy they are to pull together. We’re stirring everything together by hand, and the idea is to make sure you don’t overmix anything. So we’re starting by mixing together the dry ingredients, and then separately whisking together the wet ingredients. Then pour the wet into the dry.
And then gently start stirring it together. Before everything is mixed in, you want to add in your poppyseeds and blueberries. This gives the blueberries a little light coating of flour as they get mixed in, and that ensures that they won’t sink to the bottom of your muffins.
Once everything is well mixed and you have no remaining pockets of flour, you want to cover your batter and let it rest for 30 minutes while your oven preheats. This is an important step!
We want to give the baking powder time to really activate and rest before popping them into a hot oven. You’ll get beautiful domed tops this way!
I like to sprinkle the tops of my muffins with a little granulated sugar which will result in a lightly crisp top, and helps the muffins brown really well as they bake. And that’s it!
Enjoy these babies warm or store them in an airtight container for 3-5 days. You can also freeze the baked muffins for 3 months, and pop one out to thaw whenever you want a little breakfast treat!
Here are my best tips for the perfect muffins!
Enjoy!
