Jumbo Blueberry Muffins Ingredients
These blueberry muffins are made with basic ingredients that you probably already have on hand.
- Flour:Â I use all-purpose flour, but combining all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour is delicious too.
- Baking powder and salt:Â for flavor and leavening.
- White Sugar:Â Use white granulated sugar for a sweet muffin.
- Oil (vegetable or canola oil):Â Oil creates a soft texture.
- Butter:Â I always bake with salted butter, but you can use unsalted. Butter adds a rich flavor.
- Eggs:Â Eggs are used for moisture and structure in baking recipes.
- Milk + Lemon Juice:Â I don’t generally have buttermilk on hand, so I use milk and lemon juice, but you can also use buttermilk.
- Sour Cream:Â The addition of sour cream creates a moist muffin. Plain yogurt can be used as well.
5 Tips for Making Jumbo Muffins
- Fill the muffin pan to the dry top. If you want that classic muffin top look, filling the muffin cups 2/3 won’t cut it. This recipe makes the perfect amount of batter to fill six jumbo muffin cups to the top.
- Grease the muffin pan, LIBERALLY! Don’t skimp. Brush with butter or shortening or spray with nonstick cooking spray. The nonstick spray is my preferred method. Spray the inside of each cup and cover the top of the pan.
- Use a jumbo muffin pan. This is essential! This is the pan that I have. I’ve used it for years, and it’s an excellent pan. If you’d like to make standard-sized muffins, you can follow this recipe (made with or without the streusel topping).
- Reduce the baking temp. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the muffins at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees for 25 minutes. The higher baking temp creates enough life for the muffin top then the reduced heat evenly cooks the center of the muffins. I typically only do this when making jumbo muffins, but you can use this technique for all muffin recipes.
- Wrap the baked and cooled jumbo muffins individually in plastic wrap to keep the muffins fresh for up to 5 days! They’ll be even softer on day 2.Â
