I love a quick breakfast, and muffins are one of my go tos, whether it’s a double chocolate zucchini muffins or a peach kuchen muffin. They make a great batch of make ahead meals that everyone eats without complaining.
It’s just a bonus that they are perfect to use up too many blueberries I buy. And yes, they work well with frozen blueberries, too.
Why use muffin papers?
Whenever I make muffins, I use muffin papers instead of greasing the muffin tin. Why?
Well, first, when you spray a muffin tin, it gets sticky and gross where the spray doesn’t get covered by food. It bakes onto the muffin tins and essentially ruins them.
I only use nonstick spray where I have no alternative or where I know whatever I am baking entirely covers the nonstick spray.
Second, the muffin papers make it easier to remove the muffins from the pan in a single piece, always a win.
And the muffin papers help keep the muffins moist the next day.
How to Make Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Add muffin papers to the tins, or grease the tins if needed.
I used 36 medium sized tins and 24 mini muffins for this. If you use the standard muffin tins, this makes approximately 42 muffins.
Beat your eggs in a bowl. Add the sugars and continue to beat.
Slowly drizzle in the oil to ensure it emulsifies. Add the vanilla and mix well.
Add half the sour cream and mix well. Add the baking soda, salt and half the flour.
Gently, and oh so slowly, mix until the flour is *mostly* gone. Add the remaining sour cream, following the same strategy.
Add the remaining flour, again mixing just until the flour is mostly gone. You do NOT want to overstir this.
Fold in the blueberries carefully. Scoop into your prepared muffin tins using a muffin scoop to get them as even as possible.
I debated adding a streusel to the top, but in the name of pretending that these were healthy muffins, I decided against it. Ok, so if I were really making this a healthy recipe, I would have used half applesauce with the oil and plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Eh.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until your cake tester comes out clean.
Enjoy!

I love blueberry muffin recipes! Can't wait to give it a shot.
Oh Girlie that is AWESOME!!!
Looks wonderful!!
Oh, yum! I love blueberry muffins!
I bet these are great! Sour cream always makes things so tender.
The muffins look great! Sorry I haven't been by in a while. The move and unpacking have gotten the best of me. Thanks for sharing your recipe and linking to Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. So, I still have NOT tried Imo's. I think I will choose to stay away from that. We did find some pizza that was good, however. 🙂
Regina – They are. And I've frozen about half of them now, so I will be able to enjoy them for a long time!
Angie – Oh me, too! And not only because I can pretend they're healthy 😉
Alexis – I certainly think so….
Together We Save – They are.
Sherry – Apparently lots of us do. If you try this, let me know what you think!
Brenda – Doesn't it? And it adds such a great note of flavor, too.
Lisa – Glad you found some good pizza. And please DO continue to avoid the Imo's 🙂
Ohh these look good…how can you go wrong with sour cream in anything though right?
Ohh there is a cooking contest called the bsi bloger secret ingredient and this week it is sour cream-you should enter. It is being hosted by Christina of Dinner at Christina's in my blogroll.
Sorry it took so long to get over here, I was sick. Arrghh.
I really appreciate that you continue to link up, thanks so much. It means a lot to me. You should throw us the apple sauce cake next week, seriously.
I'm ready to eat them right now 🙂
