Frequently Asked Questions:

Why are my blueberry muffins sinking in the middle?

This can happen for a few reasons. Overmixing the batter can develop too much gluten, causing them to rise and then fall. Another common culprit is opening the oven door too early during baking; the sudden temperature change can cause them to collapse. Ensure your oven temperature is accurate, as an oven that’s too hot can cause them to set too quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked inside.

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen blueberries work wonderfully in muffins. The key is to toss them directly into the batter without thawing them. This helps prevent them from bleeding too much color into the batter and making your muffins less aesthetically pleasing. You might need to bake them for a minute or two longer.

How do I store leftover blueberry muffins?

Once completely cooled, store your homemade blueberry muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you’d like to keep them for longer, they can be frozen. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat in a low oven.
