Best Blueberry Muffins
A community recipe by PsapphaNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
I hesitate to call a recipe I post the BEST of something...but these really are the best blueberry muffins. There are many other muffin recipes that I love; Pear, Apple, Blackberry, etc, but, when it comes to blueberry, this is the only one for me. And the recipe is not original to me, so I'm not actually tooting my own horn here!
Ingredients
Serves: Makes 18 muffins
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons (melted butter
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest (or lemon zest )
Method
Best Blueberry Muffins is a community recipe submitted by Psappha and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.
Additional Information
The original recipe has the following post-script direction: To reheat, place muffin(s) in a paper bag and close the bag. Place in preheated 425F (210C/Gas Mark 7) oven for about 5 minutes. I have never actually followed this as I think the muffins taste almost as good cold; besides, there are never very many left over anyway!

Show more commentsIt's a good recipe but the sugar is left out, I added half a cup but it wasn't enough, I think a scant cup of light brown sugar will be better. I sprinkled oats and chopped nuts on top. They rose well and tasted delicious, I will make again with a bit more sugar.
Not enough fat in these muffins, mine turned out very dry. Plus the recipe is wrong (no sugar?)
Hello I am wanting to bake these blue berry muffins but see there is an ingredient missing. How much sugar is needed?
How very annoying!!!! I, somewhat blindly, followed the recipe and didn't notice where it said to add sugar because THERE IS NO SUGAR in the ingredients list!! Turned out more like scones than muffins, which was definitely not the desired outcome. Misleading at best, you need to write the full ingredients.
I also noticed there was no sugar in the ingredient list! I added 1/2 cup of nautral light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, They turned out extremely lght and airy, and much healthier wihtout the use of lots of butter or oil :)
ummmmm where is the sugar??? i resorted to another recipe to know how much sugar to add... perhapps note how much sugar... thanx nice recipe though :)
This sounds fantastic. I am going to use this recipe for the Maternity Worldwide Muffins for Midwives (5th May) - anyone else want to take part look at www.maternityworldwide.org/news/muffins-for-midwives
Afraid mine didn't taste very good......mainly because I followed the list of ingredients which didn't include sugar! Whoops!
Tried this today. Added half cup sugar and half teaspn vanilla. Did not have enough blueberries (too expensive) so divided mixture and added ripe fresh de-pipped cut up cherries. Made those muffins very moist, yum. These are morning tea type muffins rather than for breakfast. Very light and I agree, makes 16. next time I will try the orange zest. The mixture makes a nice base for any additions that you wish I would think.
just making these now, there's no sugar in the recipe???
These are terrible! What a waste of lovely berries, the muffins turned out incredibly bland and tasteless except for the berries. They are also hard and tiny. Yuck.
The recipe says to sift flour bakin powder salt and sugar but it does not say how much sugar ?
