For light and fluffy muffins, fluff the flour, spoon it into measuring cups and level it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated sugar is perfect for adding sweetness and tenderness to muffin recipes. We recommend finishing the muffins with a sprinkle of coarse sugar, like turbinado, for a crunchy finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking powder:<\/strong> Using old or expired baking powder can result in flat muffins, so double-check the expiration date on your baking powder. You can also check for freshness with a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/testing-baking-powder-and-soda\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">baking powder test<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Room-temperature eggs mix more evenly into batters, so set them on the counter 30 minutes before you prepare the batter or pop them into a bowl of warm (not hot!) water for about 5 minutes.

Simply stir 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice into 1 cup milk and let it stand for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll need half a stick of butter.

Just be sure to put the container in a cool, dry location, like a pantry or snack cabinet. They should last up to one week. Although you can refrigerate muffins, we don&#8217;t recommend it because the cool air causes them to dry out much faster.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze mini blueberry muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>You can absolutely freeze mini blueberry muffins! Let the muffins cool completely, then stack them in a freezer-safe container. Use parchment paper to separate the layers and freeze for up to three months. When you&#8217;d like to eat one, simply thaw at room temperature or pop it in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<h2>Mini Blueberry Muffin Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2147287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Best-Ever-Mini-Blueberry-Muffins_TOHD25_279436_ChristineMa_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Mini Blueberry Muffins\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">CHRISTINE MA FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Is it better to use fresh or frozen blueberries in muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>You can use fresh or frozen blueberries to make these mini blueberry muffins. You can&#8217;t beat the sweetness of fresh berries during summer, and frozen blueberries are a convenient option for the rest of the year. If using frozen berries, don&#8217;t thaw them. Mix them into the batter while frozen to prevent your batter from turning blue.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the secret to moist mini muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>To ensure your muffins turn out moist rather than dry, follow the recipe as written and avoid overmixing or overbaking. This recipe&#8217;s melted butter and buttermilk are essential for producing a soft texture, so we don&#8217;t recommend omitting or modifying those ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Overmixing causes gluten to develop, which can make your muffins dense and tough instead of light and tender. Avoid this by stirring the dry and wet ingredients until just combined. Because of their small size, mini muffins cook fast. Use a timer and keep a close eye on them as they bake. The muffins are done as soon as a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean\u00a0or with a few moist crumbs.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you serve mini blueberry muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>You can serve mini blueberry muffins with breakfast or as part of a brunch alongside a savory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/egg-casserole-recipes-breakfast\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/egg-casserole-recipes-breakfast\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">egg casserole<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/frittata-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/frittata-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">frittata<\/a> or a colorful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fruit-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fruit-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fruit salad<\/a>.
