Questions about Blueberry muffin
How do you stop blueberries sinking to the bottom of a muffin?
Toss fresh or frozen berries in a teaspoon of the recipe’s flour before folding them gently into the batter. Use frozen berries straight from the freezer; thawed ones release juice and can colour the batter.
How long do you bake blueberry muffins, and at what temperature?
For standard-sized muffins, bake at 200 °C for about 18–22 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a skewer comes out without wet batter. Start checking mini muffins earlier, around 10–12 minutes.
Can you use frozen blueberries in blueberry muffins?
Yes. Fold them in while still frozen, just before filling the muffin cases, and avoid stirring more than necessary. The muffins may need a few extra minutes in the oven.
How should you store blueberry muffins so they stay moist?
Once completely cool, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days; line the container with kitchen paper to absorb moisture from the berries. Freeze them individually for longer storage and thaw at room temperature.
What can you serve with a blueberry muffin?
A blueberry muffin works well with plain yoghurt or a piece of fruit for breakfast, or with tea or coffee as a snack. Split and warm it briefly, then add a little butter if you like.
Can you freeze blueberry muffins?
Yes. Cool them fully, wrap each muffin or place them in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature, or warm from frozen in a 160 °C oven for about 10–15 minutes.
How many calories are in a blueberry muffin?
A medium muffin weighing 113 g contains about 424 kcal. Mini muffins are a much smaller portion, at about 17 g each.
Are blueberry muffins a source of fibre?
A 113 g medium blueberry muffin contains 1.2 g of fibre, so it is not a particularly fibre-rich choice. The amount can differ between recipes, especially when they use wholemeal flour or extra fruit.
