Single Serve Blueberry Muffin

There is nothing I love more than a single serve dessert, except for maybe this Single Serve Blueberry Muffin (Small Batch for Two)! Making an easy batter with just a few small ingredients and you have a delicious small batch of blueberry muffins! Perfect for sharing or to make your morning just a bit sweeter!

Why You’ll Love…

You’ll love this small batch muffin recipe because you only need a small amount of ingredients so it’s perfect for cleaning out the pantry, or using up that last little bit of sugar hiding out in your cabinets! Not to mention you can customize this recipe to your tastes, so you can make these blueberry muffins, or add in other fresh fruits like raspberries or strawberries! 

Fresh or Frozen Fruit

I tested this single serve recipe two different ways using fresh blueberries and frozen blueberries! I’m glad to say that the recipe works both ways! However, there are a few differences! 

• If you’re going to use frozen fruit, especially with blueberries, you want to add it to the batter last and be careful how many times you mix it! This can cause the fruit to start to thaw and release moisture which can add liquid to your batter! So add in the frozen fruit, mix it once or twice, then pop it right into the oven! 
• Sometimes using frozen blueberries can slightly alter the color of your muffins! I noticed when I used frozen blueberries, my muffin took on a slightly green/blue tinge, whereas using fresh blueberries, my muffins stayed a golden brown color! 

Next time, I think I need to make a batch of chocolate chip muffins! The other thing to make a batch of muffins better is add in some chocolate chips, right!? 

Making the Perfect Muffin

I’ve made my fair share of muffins in the past and here are all of my favorite tips for getting perfect muffins.

1. Make sure you’re using muffin paper liners! Whether you make your own or grab a pack from the grocery store, I always recommend using muffin liners! There’s nothing worse than your muffin getting stuck to the muffin pan! While we can all agree muffin tops are the best part of the muffin, you don’t want the bottoms getting burnt and stuck! Muffin liners make sure it’s easy to just pop right out of the pan. 
2. I always add a bit of sugar to the tops of the muffins before baking! It adds the perfect little crunch to the top that I love with the soft texture of the muffins! 
3. When you’re filling tip the muffin tins, I like to use a cookie scoop to make sure all the muffins are the same size! Then I fill each muffin tin to about 3/4’s of the way full! That way when the muffins pop up, they have the perfect domed muffin top! 
4. There are many tricks saying to start your oven off at a higher temperature and then drop it down to a lower temperature to get a better dome shape, but I found for this recipe, leaving the oven temperature at 375 degrees the whole time still gets you that classic dome shape!

Helpful Tips and Tricks

1. If you want to make these extra special for springtime, add a bit of lemon zest and make these lemon blueberry muffins! 
2. If you don’t have vegetable oil, you can also use melted butter! Make sure it cools down to room temperature first!
3. Instead of making two muffins, you can try to use a larger muffin pan and get one jumbo muffin out of this recipe! Who needs to share?! Or if you have a mini muffin tin, you can add this muffin to that and make a bunch of mini muffins! That would be perfect if you had small kids! 
4. To store the leftover muffin, store in an airtight container for about 2-3 days at room temperature! I don’t recommend storing in the fridge, as that can dry out the muffin! 

Can you just imagine making a batch of these easy blueberry muffins on a chilly Sunday morning with a warm cup of coffee and birds singing in the background!? I mean talk about a perfect way to enjoy the weekend! Be sure to add this small-batch blueberry muffin recipe to your list to get ready for the weekend!
