Hey I’m John canel and today on preppy kitchen we’re making some easy flavor packed blueberry muffins so let’s get started first off Setra up into 400 so it’s nice and hot now in a large bowl we’re going to combine our dry ingredients starting with 2 cups or 240

G of allpurpose flour we want the fluffiest most tender amazing blueberry muffins and the first part of that is measuring your flour carefully if you add too much it’s going to be bready and dense not what I want for contrast I want one teaspoon of salt if you’re using a fine grained table

Salt I would go to like 3/4 of a teaspoon or even half if you’re using diamond crystal salt I would add in a little bit more because it’s a less salty salt to Puff things up you’ll also want two teaspoon of baking powder grab a whisk give that a whisk so

It’s nice and combined this whisk whisk whisk now it’s time to set this aside and grab a large bowl and your hand mixer or a stand mixer into a large bowl I’m adding half a cup of room temperature butter and I’ll tell you today it’s very cold and my butter was

Not room temperature after several hours it was pretty icy and hard so feel free to microwave it for 10 seconds at half power if it’s a little too firm you should be able to press your finger into it and it leaves it indent with just a little bit of

Work going to cream this up on low for just a minute and today today I’m using all butter but if you wanted to you could use half butter half vegetable oil or even all vegetable oil it’s totally up to you I love the taste of butter but

If you’re going to enjoy your muffins over the next couple days or they’re going to live in the refrigerator I would use half vegetable oil so they’re really really soft even if they’re cold now I’m adding 3/4 of a cup or 150 g of granulated sugar right in I’m going to

Mix this up for just a minute Again mix this up on medium for a few seconds so it’s nice and combined and and then we can add the egg if you added the butter eggs and sugar in all at the same time it works if the butter is the perfect

Temperature but if it’s a little bit too hard it gets frustrating one egg and two by the way if you like my videos and you haven’t subscribed hit that button I post new videos twice a week and there is always something delicious on the horizon blueberry muffins are one of my

Favorite morning treats however actually that reminds me there’s an optional ingredient you can add right now and that’s lemon zest I’m going to zest one whole lemon and Pop That in with all the mixing the oils will get expressed and you’ll have a beautiful lemony flavor coming through and in my opinion lemon

And blueberries go hand in hand there’s so many different ways that you can make these muffins and this recipe will work in any number of ways I’m going to show you a couple more variations you can do and um just like make the recipe a bit more your own

Now we’re going to mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it is light and [Applause] fluffy if you were doing this in a stand mixer you would definitely have to scrape the bowl down but with a hand mixer you could just scrape as you [Applause]

Mix that looks light and fluffy and it’s a beautiful light yellow color I have some big beautiful blueberries for these muffins but if I just mix them in they might sink a a little bit more than I’d like I want them to be suspended throughout so go ahead and grab a

Tablespoon of the dry mixture sprinkle that over your 8 ounces of blueberries and just give it a toss now we’re hoping that the powder that’s on the blueberries will trap little pockets of air and help them kind of float or cling to where they are instead of sinking down now we can

Continue on so two teaspoons of vanilla will give us a lovely depth of flavor add that right in and mix it up for this recipe we’re using 3/4 of a cup of milk if you want you could add 1/4 cup of milk 1/4 cup of lemon juice and

1/4 cup of sour cream for a really Tangy zingy blueberry muffin today I’m going to use all milk which is what the recipe calls for but you can totally switch it up if you want I’m going to add the flour in three additions alternating with my milk or milk mixture and mix on

Low in between you don’t want to over mix your batter if you wanted to you could also use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a little bit of more of a Tangy situation mix that in the rest of the Milk and add the last bit of flour mix mix mix and I still see flour hanging around but I’m going to stop mixing until that very last addition of flour it looked like it was just way too watery but it all came together in the

End so scrape the bowl down and just mix any streaks of flour in and now we’re going to stir in our blueberries add those in and gently fold them together try and get a nice distribution of blueberries like one of my favorite scenes in that movie Casino is uh Robert

Daera complaining about his muffin which has like one blueberry in it and his friends is full of blueberries so makes the chef count them out individually per muffin which is not sustainable that’s wonderful my oven’s hot the batter is ready grab your muffin tin and papers and let’s get to work pop

Your papers into your muffin Wells and now we’re going to divide the batter evenly and these will be full muffins we have the oven at 400° F so that they really puff up dramatically in you go you have a choice they could be beautiful plain delicious blueberry muffins or you could top them

With a little bit of sugar or you could top them with a crumble or strucel topping I’m going to do half and half today so you can see the difference the strucel topping is beyond easy all you do is mix up half a cup of flour half a

Cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of butter with a pinch of salt it could be cold butter that you work in or it could be melted butter that you drizzle in either way it works if you watch this channel you know I have a habit of overfilling my muffin tins

And it’s happened once again so I have 11 very full muffins that’s totally fine no one’s going to complain about that except the 12th guest just kidding as promised the strel topping super easy I’m mixing in the butter sugar and flour and drizzling in my butter sprinkle with sugar if desired

This could be sanding sugar granulated sugar any kind that you like and for the other almost half of the muffins I’m going to sprinkle on my strucel topping add a couple of blueberries on top just so they know what they’re biting into my muffins are ready to go

Into the oven 400 fenit for 20 minutes until they are puffed and golden and because I don’t want them to dry out at this high heat I’m adding a ramkin halfway filled with water it’ll steam up and prevent them from drying out and you go both of these look so beautiful it is

Hard to choose you make whatever your favorite version of this is I’m going to have a bite of this one that tastes like magic it is crazy because the outside is crunchy from that sugar topping but the inside is a soft Cloud filled with blueberries with a

Little bit of Zing from the lemon it’s amazing I hope you get a chance to make this recipe and if you like this video check out my muffin Playlist to

  1. Would the blueberry float test make any difference to the end result? That is, those that sink are ripe/sweet and the ones that float are unripe/tart. Hmmm… Sounds like a good taste test. Make half using ripe and half using unripe and see if you can tell the difference.

  2. From living in the Wild Blueberry Capital of the World, we have a very similar recipe, however like John suggested, adding in buttermilk instead of regular milk. ALSO, add in 3 cups of blueberries instead of 1 cup, so the batter barely holds the blueberries together. It is SOOOO much better to have a muffin FILLED with blueberries.

    Also, not a sales pitch, but IF you can get (preferably local, based on where you live and/or frozen wild blueberries, they taste SIGNIFICANTLY better than cultivated blueberries.

    While they’re both called blueberries, wild blueberries grow naturally on a low bush, are smaller and are much more flavour packed. Cultivated blueberries on the other hand, have several different varieties (similar to how apples have many different varieties), are five to ten feet tall trees that are grown in orchards. The fruit is much bigger, however they are significantly a lot less flavourful, less sweet and more of a watery flavour.

    IF you have an option, I’d go for wild over cultivated, but if you don’t have an option, always go with the brand that you like the taste of best and which is most affordable, of course!

    Great recipe John!

  3. You’re a kitchen scientist! 😂 I really appreciate how you take the time to explain things. I never hesitate to follow a recipe! 😊

  4. This looks so good and yet so simple! I like the moment of dispensing the dough with an ice cream scoop. I'm making muffins with chocolate, hazelnuts, raisins, currants, raspberries, blackberries and I have to try this recipe!

  5. I absolutley LOVE your channel and watching/listening to you and your impeccable instructions….Do you ever do anything for us KETO folks with like coconut flour or flaxseed I dont use almond flour but do use a bamboo fiber,flaxseed blend with other ingredients and it becomes an all purpose flour but just wanted to know about if you did anything with coconut flour or flax
    Thanks Julianna
