Bakery Style Blueberry Blackberry Muffins Recipes

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners. Grease/line a second pan with 2 liners because this recipe yields about 14 muffins. Set aside.
• Mix all of the topping ingredients together. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk into the wet ingredients and beat until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the blueberries.
• Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Spoon brown sugar topping on each, gently pressing it down into the surface so it sticks. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 23-25 minutes, give or take. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
• Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

BAKERY STYLE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• For the crumb: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray two standard muffin tins with nonstick spray and line 16 of the tins with muffin liners.
• Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Add the flour and mix until completely blended and crumbly, then set aside.
• For the muffins: Sift together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients to combine, then make a well in the center.
• Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, oil, buttermilk and vanilla in a separate bowl. Pour the liquid ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients, then fold together with a spatula just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Don't overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries. Some may break, and that is okay.
• Use a 2-ounce scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup to portion heaping scoops of batter into each lined muffin cavity. Top each muffin with about 2 tablespoons of crumb, gently pushing the crumb in place.
• Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 25 minutes. (You may need to push some of the crumb aside to test the muffins.) Cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the muffin tin, then move to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
