How to make sour cream blueberry muffins
Step 1: Line a muffin tin with 12 liners and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Recipe Tip
I always use parchment paper muffin liners when making muffins, as nothing will stick to them. They are the best!
Step 2: Whisk together the wet ingredients in a bowl: sour cream, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and lemon zest.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 4: Reserve 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture and toss it with the blueberries in a bowl. This will help the blueberries not sink to the bottom of the muffins when they bake.
Step 5: Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Do not over mix, as this will result in dense muffins.
Step 6: Fold the fresh blueberries into the muffin batter using a rubber spatula.
Step 7: Distribute the blueberry muffin batter into the lined muffin tin.
Bake the sour cream blueberry muffins at 350 degrees for 20 – 23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once the muffins are finished baking, remove them onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
