Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenServings: 12 muffins
Cook Time: 25 min
Difficulty: Easy
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup granulated brown sugar or white sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and sugar. In another bowl, combine butter, egg, and milk and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and with a spatula, stir until just combined. Do not beat or over mix; it’s okay if there are lumps in the batter. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tray, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the granulated brown or white sugar and return the muffins to the oven to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before turning the muffins out.

I make these using the FoodNetwork.com recipe (which lists 2 Tbs for Baking Powder) and I think they are wonderful. Break these open and spread with butter, sprinkle with extra sugar if you need it at this point. I like to eat them straight out of the muffin tin! NOTE: If you are wanting very sweet, moist muffins, you will want to find a recipe using oil, salt, and brown sugar in the main mix...or just buy them from the store. With so many baked goods from mixes these days made using pudding and other additives to make them super moist, real, made-from-scratch recipes are often hated for taste and texture. This is a HUGE misunderstanding in baking.

These tasted so bland and did not rise. When I thought about it, I realized there was no salt or baking soda in this recipe; perhaps that's what was needed. I felt like I'd wasted my blueberries. I will not make these again.

Not very sweet, but good. I just added a little brown sugar to the top & a little butter to the middle once they were done & this added a little sweetness. I also used canned blueberries & they tasted just as good as fresh.

I made these just today and did I did the creaming method with the butter, egg, and the sugar (also 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla along with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon). They turned out great! I wouldn't recommend leaving them lumpy but creamy enough!

Just made these and as my experiences have gone with homemade blueberry muffins, they are the best blueberry muffins I've ever made from scratch, BUT they're not fabulous. I followed the directions to a "T" (I did not overmix the batter-overmixing is probably the biggest mistake you can make with quickbreads)and I used 1 cup of blueberries instead of 1 1/2 and they were chocked full of berries! I also didnt add sugar sprinklings to the top - The texture was very good, moist and light but the flavor of the cake part was bland. Needs a little something... I just dont know what! I would probably make them again, but will most likely continue searching for another recipe.

There are the worst blueberry muffins ever. Not sweet at all and i think using the all purpose flour is a bad idea. I went exactly by the ingredients and they turned out horribly. I won't be making these again!

With varying opinions of this recipe, I knew I had to bake and taste them for myself. "Hands down" they are the BEST blueberry muffins I've ever tasted, and I've tried just about every blueberry muffin recipe out there. I did not use 1/2 cup of sugar on top of these muffins. I simply sprinkled the tops with about 1/2 tsp. of granulated brown sugar and they were simply fabulous!

I've made this several times. My family loves it. It's easy and delicious. I love blueberry recipes.

I love these muffins! They are delicious and nice and fluffy. I do a lot of baking and I never melt butter as this recipe calls for as I find it really makes an odd consistency in your product. Instead I measured out the butter and incorporated it with the sugar and mixed until smooth and went about the rest of the recipe and it's delicious:) I also used Splenda instead of Sugar and sprinkle only 2 tsps of sugar total on top of the 12 muffins. Anyways, my family loves this recipe and so do I!

Due to such varied opinions on the taste of these blueberry muffins, I simply felt compelled to try them for myself. Let me tell you, I have tried just about every blueberry muffin recipe ever published, and these are HANDS DOWN the best! I did not use nearly 1/2 cup of sugar on top of these muffins, I simply sprinkled 1 teaspoon of granulated brown sugar on top of each muffin between baking times. They were so good that I ate two of them right out of the oven! I knew Paula would not let me down!

These were not tasty..! I could have had a better muffin with a box betty crocker. But I still love ya Paula.. this just needs some kind of tweaking..!

so i made this receipe tonight as a loaf instead of muffins. Baked it for 40 min @ 350 degrees. Looked GORGEOUS when it was done but the taste...eish. It had some moisture and wasn't horrible but was very bland and definately had a cornbread-like consistency. Should probably use less baking powder and add some kind of spice.
