Equipment
These white chocolate blueberry muffins are so simple - there are only a few tools you will need!
- Muffin tin
- Cupcake liners
- Ice cream scoop or large spoon
- Rubber spatula
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Then add the blueberries and gently toss to coat.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 3: Fold the wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients until just a few flour streaks remain. Then, fold in the white chocolate pieces.
Step 4: Using an ice cream scoop, fill about 16 regular sized muffin cups ⅔ of the way up. Bake the muffins at 375°F for 16-20 minutes, until the top of the muffins are very light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Tips For Success
Tip #1 - Folding the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined helps make sure you have fluffy muffins. If you over mix the muffin batter, it can become dense and rubbery.
Tip #2 - Chopping a bar of quality white chocolate means you will have better flavor throughout your white choc and blueberry muffins than you will get from white chocolate chips. Chocolate chips are made to hold their shapes whereas a chocolate bar will melt more! It also allows you to chop them to the perfect size you want.
Tip #3 - If you are using frozen instead of fresh blueberries, be careful as you mix them into the dry mixture to avoid too much of the blueberries' color to seep into the flour. You do not need to let them thaw before baking.
Recipe FAQs
While store-bought buttermilk is the best option, you can make a homemade version by pouring whole milk into a small bowl, adding a splash of vinegar, and allowing it to sit for 5 minutes before using. You could also try substituting with greek yogurt with a splash of milk to thin it out.
Both the vegetable oil and the buttermilk add fat and moisture to the batter which keeps it from drying out in the oven. And making sure you don't over mix your batter or over measure your flour will create the fluffiest muffins!
