Starbucks Blueberry Muffin Recipe

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 23 minutes
Total Time 38 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) neutral oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups (210g) fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp raw (turbinado) sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Whisk the 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar together in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 eggs, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1 tbsp milk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together with a spatula until just combined, about 12 to 15 folds. Stop as soon as no dry flour is visible.
  4. Toss the 1 1/2 cups blueberries in 1 tsp flour, fold them into the batter with 3 or 4 strokes, then divide the batter among the 6 cups, filling nearly to the top. Sprinkle 2 tbsp raw sugar over all 6 muffins.
  5. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 16 to 18 more minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and serve warm.

Notes

The two-temperature bake is not optional if you want a tall dome. You can prep the dry and wet ingredients separately the evening before and combine them right before baking. These muffins are best the day they are made, but a quick 10-second microwave warm-up on day 2 does a lot for the texture.
