How To Make Blueberry Cream Muffins
Step one:Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Step two:In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add berries and toss GENTLY.
Step three:Combine eggs, sour cream, oil and vanilla; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Step four:Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Why Bake With Sour Cream?
Since sour cream is one of the fattiest dairy products, its extra fat content in this case will make your muffins moister and richer.
Sour cream controls browning and activates baking soda. This is all thanks to its acidity and fat content. It is one of the best replacements for milk in any baking recipe.
Will Sour Cream Curdle In The Oven?
Not in this recipe or most baking recipes. Is is mainly used to add richness and tang to baking recipes.
Are Blueberries Healthy?
Yes!
Blueberries possess an extremely high antioxidant capacity, with their present flavonoids having the greatest impact. They are low in calories, but high in nutrients like fiber and other important vitamins. Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, which has been associated with a reduced risk of heart attacks and the antioxidants in blueberries benefit brain function and help to delay mental decline.
You really can’t go wrong when it comes to enjoying blueberries.
How To Freeze Blueberry Muffins
These Blueberry Cream Muffins can be frozen up to three months.
Make sure muffins are completely cooled before placing in a freezer friendly zipped-top bag or container.
Thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter before enjoying them again. They can also be heated in the microwave or the oven for a warm muffin experience.

Hi! Those muffins look so tasty! I live alone though but would love to make them, can you tell me how many the recipe makes so I can scale it down some? Thanks!
When I first saw the pictures, I got jealous because for a split second I thought maybe, just maybe, there was someplace in this country that was warm enough for blueberries to grow.
Love blueberry muffins, and I love how you made them with cream.
I just made these today after classes were done. It’s been so gloomy down here in SoCal not only because of the weather but because of the stress ball law students I’m with every day! These muffins brightened up the day! They were delicious and helped produce many a smile!
