My youngest daughter has taken to waking up at six o'clock every morning. It's really not such a bad thing. It is already light out, and my husband and I go to bed early, so I get enough sleep. The problem is what to do at that hour. My answer? Bake, of course! So on Sunday morning, I mixed these up (they are really fast, by the way), and we had fresh-from-the-oven muffins before going to church. I am picky about muffin texture (well, really any texture, have you figured that out yet?), and these were moist and tender. Just right.
Blueberry Muffins
Printer-friendly version
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups sour cream (I used fat free)
- 2 cups blueberries
Crack eggs into bowl of electric mixer. Using whisk attachment, beat on med-high. Slowly pour in sugar while continuing to mix. Turn down to low and stream in oil. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl. Using a rubber spatula, alternately fold in flour mixture and sour cream. Do not over-mix. Fold in blueberries. Scoop batter into prepared muffin pans.
Bake 20 minutes.
Yield: 24 muffins

Emily, it sounded so good this AM so I made a batch! Thankfully I had all the ing. It was very easy. I love the texture and taste. The only thing I had 2dz plus! I also added some frozen cherry slices as I am really rationing my bluebs. I maybe would add cinn. since I love that combination. I will def. use again.

I can't wait to make these, I am addicted to blueberry muffins! Have you ever tried freezing muffins? I keep thinking about making a few different kinds and freezing them to eat later but wondered if there were any 'rules' or suggestions about that.
Cheri, I did half a batch, and ended up with 14 as well. I meant to write that in there... apparently I forgot :) I usually do a crumb topping with cinnamon, and I might try that next time too.
Marissa, I know my mom freezes bran muffins, and they do well. I have never frozen them, but you could just try it with one and see how it does!
