    Ingredients You'll Need

    An overhead shot of the ingredients for blueberry muffins with sour cream
    • 2 cups of all purpose flour. Use a combination of whole wheat flour and white flour for a heartier muffin.
    • Baking powder and baking soda. This will create jumbo blueberry muffins instead of small ones.
    • 1 stick of butter, melted. Vegetable oil or coconut oil can be used.
    • Granulated sugar, to sweeten the muffins.
    • Sour cream. Full fat is best. Fat free or low fat tends to be a little too watery.
    • A cup of milk. Whole milk, almond milk, soy milk, or your favorite nondairy milk would work.
    • 2 large eggs.
    • Fresh or frozen blueberries.
    • The juice and zest of one lemon.

    Equipment You'll Need

    • Mixing Bowls
    • Measuring Cups
    • Measuring Spoons
    • Whisk
    • Ice Cream Scoop
    • Muffin Liners
    • Standard Muffin Tin

    How To Make Lemon Blueberry Muffins With Sour Cream

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

    Add the blueberries to a small bowl and mix with one tablespoon of flour. Set that aside.

    In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.  Mix to the flour mixture together to combine and set that aside.

    In a large bowl, add the sugar and melted butter. Add the eggs, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well to combine.

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will not be smooth, it’s ok if there are a few lumps.

    Add the blueberries to the batter and mix again until just combined.

    Line a muffin pan with the paper liners.  Scoop equal amounts of batter into the muffin tins. 

    Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.

    Allow the muffins to cool slightly on a wire rack and serve.

    Tips and Tricks

    • Use a measuring cup or an ice cream scoop to evenly scoop the muffin batter into the cupcake liners.
    • Add a brown sugar streusel! If you want to make these blueberry sour cream muffins to the top of the muffins to make them even more decadent, add a streusel topping like the one on this banana bread recipe!
    • Not a lemon fan? Replace the lemon zest and lemon juice with one teaspoon vanilla extract instead.
    • Want to reduce waste? Use reusable muffin cups instead of disposable muffin cups. Kids will love the bright colors of these muffins!
    • Use a mini muffin pan to make these into mini muffins. Divide batter into small muffin tin instead and bake for 12-15 minutes.

    Questions About Lemon Blueberry Muffins With Sour Cream

    How long do these muffins last after they are baked?

    Once the muffins are cooled, place them in an airtight container and keep them on the counter for 3-4 days. It's best to keep the muffins at room temperature. Do not place the muffins the in the refrigerator as that will cause them to go stale quickly.

    I don't have sour cream, can I still make these muffins?

    Yes! If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt will work the same as sour cream. You can use plain yogurt or blueberry yogurt to enhance the blueberry flavor.

    What other add ins can I use in these muffins?

    Fresh blueberries can be substituted for frozen blueberries if it's not the time of year for fresh blueberries. You can also add chocolate chips and a combination of fresh berries.

      The pancake in a cup was wonderful. I tried for the first time today. My daughter is staying with us for the time being after her surgery. She does not like to cook. She liked the pancake, and thought it would be easy to do. Thank you.
