What's a Single Serve Recipe?

I love making these single serve recipes but this Single Serve Blueberry Muffin might just be my new favorite! The idea of using the smallest amount of ingredients and winding up the perfect amount of dessert or baked goods is my dream come true!

Sometimes you just get the craving for a muffin in the morning, but you don't have a lot of ingredients on hand, or maybe you don't want to waste a whole batch making 12 muffins, if you live alone! This recipe is perfect for that!

Fresh or Frozen Blueberries

When it comes to any baked goods, using fresh or frozen fruit is always the main question. There's a few different variables on when to use certain kind of fruit. Obviously the first thing is figuring out if the fruit is in season. If it's not in season, it's probably not going to be the freshest and you might just want to use frozen anyways!

I like to use frozen fruit because it can help control the moisture content in baking. There's a lot of moisture in fruit (think blueberries, strawberries, pears), which can throw off the final results of whatever you're making. Using frozen means they won't release their moisture right away which gives the ingredients time to activate and absorb the moisture during baking. Frozen fruit also maintains its shape a little bit better when you're mixing and folding ingredients!

For this recipe, you can use either fresh or frozen blueberries! Either way, it'll come out delicious!

Muffin Liner Trick

Run out muffin liners and don't feel like going to the store!? I have the perfect trick for you! All you need is parchment paper and a glass and you're good to go!

Cut out a 6-inch square of parchment paper. This doesn't have to be too exact and depending on the size of the muffins you want, you could also do a 5-inch square.

Then fill your drinking glass upside down, and then place the parchment paper over the top of the glass. You want the middle of the square to line up with the middle of the glass. Then gently smooth you hands down the edge of the glass, pressing the parchment paper down and around the glass.

You might need to help crease certain parts of the parchment paper to get it to line up perfectly, but there you have it! A beautiful rustic muffin liner that's perfect for this single serve recipe!
