Servings: 14 muffins
Ingredients
Blueberry Sauce
- 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp water
Muffins:
- 2 eggs, large
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 Tbsp milk (2% or whole)
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries + 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
Instructions
Blueberry Sauce:
- Mix blueberries, brown sugar, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, cornstarch, and water together.
- Over med-low heat stirring occasionally, cook the blueberries until they start to burst.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line your muffins tins with muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs until lightly beaten.
- Next, add in granulated sugar, and whisk until combined.
- Add in canola oil and vanilla extract; whisk until combined.
- Add in dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until lightly combined (the batter will be stiff and all of the dry ingredients will not be incorporated—that’s okay!).
- Add in sour cream and milk, and mix the batter until just combined.
- Lastly, add in the blueberries. Sprinkle the 1 Tbsp of flour over the blueberries. Then, mix until the blueberries are evenly dispersed in the batter.
- Divide the batter into the muffin cups, filling about 2/3 of the way full (this recipe makes about 14 muffins).
- Spoon a little of the blueberry sauce over each muffin (a spoonful is just fine on each muffin cup). Using a knife, cake tester, or toothpick, swirl the sauce into the batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes. Best when served warm. If you have any extra blueberry sauce, spoon it on top of the muffins when serving, if desired.
