Y’all I froze so many blueberries last summer!! I’m still pulling them out of the freezer for all sorts of things.

Last week I made Blueberry Muffins as we prepped for our camping trip. (recipe from: butteryourbiscuit.com). Who gets up early to bake before camping? Apparently me!

As you may have noticed, I’m a fan of adding sour cream to my baking. I like the tang and texture is brings to muffins and cakes.

These muffins are pretty quick and easy. I’d say it took me about 40 mins from start to finish.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

(Gluten Free Option)

| makes 12 muffins |

STREUSEL TOPPING:

• 3 tablespoons melted butter

• 1/4 Cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 Cup all purpose flour (or gluten free flour like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Baking flour)

• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (see tips below)

MUFFINS:

• 2 cups all purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon (or gluten free flour like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Baking flour)

• 3 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

METHOD:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a 12 cup muffin pan with liners.

2. Make the streusel topping. Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a fork. Set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Add oil, vanilla, and sour cream. Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Do not over mix.

5. Toss the blueberries in the tablespoon of flour. Gently fold into batter. Distribute batter evenly between each muffin cup. Top each muffin with streusel topping.

6. Bake 22- 25 minutes until muffins are golden on top, or a toothpick inserted into muffin comes out clean.

TIPS:

1. Set a few blueberries aside for each muffin with 2-3 blueberries on top of the streusel.

2. If you’re looking for a brighter flavor- replace the cinnamon with the zest of one lemon (both the batter and toppings). It really makes an impact and brightens it up!
