I have a love for berries. I’m crazy about blueberries, strawberries and raspberries too. It I had a mulberry tree in my backyard I’d be happy. Very happy. Hubby hates berries though, so it’s up to Lacey and I to eat our way through them. Sometimes I go a little overboard and buy too many berries. Just like I did last week.
I had a punnet and a half of berries waiting to be eaten, and I thought I’d turn them into a little baking fun for Lacey. So we whipped up this deliciously perfect blueberry muffin recipe. I’ll be freezing them so that we can get through them as we need.
Ingredients
1 x 300g tub sour cream
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of milk
55g butter, melted
1/4 cup plain flour
1 2/3 cup self-raising flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries {if frozen – don’t thaw them}
Method
♥ Preheat oven to 190 degrees celcius. Prepare the tin by lining a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases
♥ In a small bowl combine sour cream, egg & vanilla. Allow to sit while preparing flours and sugar
♥ In a medium bowl combine flours and sugar. Mix berries in and coat them in the flour mix
♥ Add melted butter and milk to the sour cream mix. Add to the flour and blueberry mix. Stir to combine. Don’t overmix or you’ll burst the blueberries
♥ The mixture is quite coarse and dry {but oh-so-delicious}
♥ Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 cases
♥ Cook for 25-30 minutes or until golden
OK i think i have everything in the house for this already so will try to make them this week as I need to restock for lunchboxes (am already making my cocoa beetroot muffins for the kids. Thanks for the recipe!
Fresh blueberries only last five minutes in my house with Mr Smaggle!

Oh how much do I love berries. My favourite fruit is bananas. Thank god their price is coming down, I've been paying through the nose for them all year. I have one every day! I might make these this week as Greg my partner has found his love for blueberry muffins.

These look delicious! I too LOVE berries. I bought 2 punnets of blueberries last week because they were so cheap and I ended up making some blueberry scones. But muffins are my fave. Will definitely have to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the article and the recommendation!

I have tried a few of your recipes now and they are a complete success, so this one is happening tomorrow. Also, I love sour cream. Odd I know, but I love all recipes that have that ingredient – dense and lovely.
Just bought 3 punnets of yummy blueberries today as well!
I made these last night with the addition of half a cup of choc chips… and I also sprinkled a few slivered almonds and raw sugar on top of each muffin for crunch. They were delicious. Thanks for the great recipe.
