Our blueberry muffins with sour cream are super moist, with little bursts of juicy blueberries in every bite. Add these delightful muffins to your breakfast table for a delicious and filling way to start your morning.
Blueberry Muffins With Sour Cream Ingredients
These delightful little treats are a perfect blend of sweet, tart, and tangy. The sour cream adds a depth of flavor that takes the muffin to a whole new level. It keeps the muffin moist and pillowy, allowing the juicy blueberries to burst in your mouth.
You’ll need:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup of salted butter, melted and cooled
- ¾ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of buttermilk
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 cup of fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
- 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar
PRO TIP:
You can use unsweetened frozen blueberries instead of fresh blueberries in equal amounts. Don’t let them thaw; just put them directly from the freezer into your batter.
Substitutions And Additions
LEMON: Blueberry and lemon are a natural combination. Add a few drops of lemon extract or a bit of lemon zest to this recipe for a tangy burst.
MILK: Regular milk can be substituted for buttermilk in this simple recipe, but it is best to use buttermilk as it adds moisture to the finished muffins.
BUTTERMILK: You can make your own buttermilk using whole or 2% milk and lemon juice or distilled vinegar. For every 1 cup of milk, stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
PLAIN YOGURT: Plain yogurt can be substituted for sour cream in this recipe without losing any of the moist texture.
How To Make This Blueberry Muffins With Sour Cream Recipe
Whip up this easy muffin batter following our directions below and you’ll have the perfect breakfast or snack treat to enjoy.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl and set the flour mixture aside.
STEP TWO: In a large bowl, beat or whisk together eggs, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and sour cream.
STEP THREE: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently, just until combined. Do not overmix.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Do not over-stir the batter. The muffins will be too dense and tough.
STEP FOUR: Toss 1 cup of blueberries with the remaining tablespoon of flour and fold them into the muffin batter.
PRO TIP:
Coating the blueberries in flour will help keep them suspended in the muffins while baking, so you will have a nice distribution throughout.
STEP FIVE: Divide batter between 12 muffin cups in a muffin pan lined with paper liners or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.
STEP SIX: Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the muffins.
STEP SEVEN: Bake for 6 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven and then turn the oven down to 375°F and continue baking an additional 10 to 12 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, and the tops of the muffins are golden brown.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your muffins at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
STEP EIGHT: Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling.
PRO TIP:
Do not leave the muffins to cool in the muffin tin any longer than 5 minutes. The heat from the pan will overcook them.

This recipe went together great! I had no buttermilk so mixed white vinegar with milk. I had 1 pint of blueberries that were in the fridge for a while so took out the bad ones and it came out to probably 1 1/4 cup. Waiting for them to cool off to have one.
