The Secret to Perfect Muffins
Here’s four reasons why these are the best muffins you will ever sink your teeth into, and it’s not complicated!
- Sour cream is mixed into the batter, producing a moist yet light texture.
- There are mashed blueberries mixed in addition to the whole blueberries. Did I mention there are 2 and a half cups of blueberries in this recipe? Never too much!
- The whole blueberries are dusted with flour to keep them suspended and avoid sinking to the bottom.
- Lastly, they are baked at a higher temperature, which allows the tall tops to form before they finish cooking on the inside. This ensures the insides won’t dry out, giving you that amazingly fall-apart-soft and buttery texture!
