Sour cream adds great moisture/structure to these blueberry streusel muffins as well as the use of oil. Not to mention, every bite has pockets of sweet blueberries. And if eaten as soon as they come out of the oven…they’re even better because the blueberries are still warm and juicy ?

Can I Use Frozen Blueberries?
For best results, I’d say use fresh blueberries in this recipe. Frozen ones tend to hold a lot of moisture and will seep into the batter and can leave you with purple/blue-ish muffins. I recommend fresh blueberries that are even coated with a bit of flour prior to adding them in the batter. This process helps ensure that they don’t burst while mixing them in.
Do I Need A Stand Mixer?
Nah. One of the beauties of this recipe is that it all comes together with a few bowls, if even that. A bowl to combine the dry ingredients, a bowl for the wet, and a bowl to make the crumble topping!
Can I Substitute The Sour Cream?
Yes; a great substitute for sour cream is yogurt. I would use the full-fat kind for best results.
What Makes These The Best Blueberry Muffins?
For starters, this recipe makes about 18 cupcakes which is the perfect amount for a crowd. Not feeding a crowd? No biggie as these blueberry muffins can store away nicely for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
As previously mentioned, these muffins have a glorious crumbly topping that adds some texture and tasty flair. Lastly, heaps of moisture are found throughout these muffins without a dry crumb in sight!

Happy belated birthday! Your twenties can be tough. I think I started having life changing ephanies around 28 too. You will find success, love, happiness, and all that you desire. Change is hard. Especially when it involves letting go of people we once cared about. We have to weed our gardens so the flowers can grow!
Can’t wait to make these muffins. They look delicious.
Thanks hun!!! Yes, change is VERY hard but I’m looking forward to my future. Thank you for the kind words 🙂
Life is all about making the best choices you can- usually after seeing what isn’t working/ helping or when things happen outside of your control. I too have learned a lot (A LOT…_) from my choices but I say “Good for you” for being honest – especially with yourself. 😉
Life is all about learning and moving forward- (there are plenty of people who never open their eyes or ears to notice the issues). I would rather walk away from a “train wreck”-type situation than ride it over the cliff, 😉
LOL- If I was riding that crazy train – I would search for a hot blueberry muffin with streusel topping like yours (to-go) and then get away. 😉
I look forward to checking out your recipe- I appreciate that you are real (too many people “believe” or seem to believe that they have everything figured out- I would rather hang with you any day!! 😉 You are great- I was a teacher, I know these things after reading your writing, Hugs to you!

Hi Erin! Thank you so much for the kind words, you made my day 🙂
You are absolutely right, life is all about learning and looking toward the future. I’ve learned so many things and I’m so glad that I’m not allowing myself to stay stagnant and not move on because I’m “comfortable.” Change is so hard but I’ve come to learn that it is necessary in order to live your best life.
And yes, I can’t stand people who think they have it together! I try to be as real and honest as I can because I’m so far from perfect. Since I’ve started my blog, it’s mostly a personal diary that features my love for cooking/baking. Reading comments like yours lifts me up and motivates me! ❤️❤️❤️
This recipe came out amazing! The streusel topping is super tasty and pairs perfectly with these muffins.

This recipe turned out fantastic! The sour cream gives it a nice rich flavor . Thanks!
★★★★★
Hi Catherine! Yay, so happy you loved these muffins 🙂
Delicious recipe! I actually used frozen blueberries without a problem. Just let them thaw for an hour or two and then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel before coating with flour. As long as you’re gentle when folding them into the batter, it won’t turn blue.
Hi Brittany, I’m happy you loved them and glad to know the frozen berries would well for you! 🙂
This is the best recipe ever and I love it very moist , fluffy and tasty. I added extra blueberries because I love blueberries..

Hey! So glad you enjoyed these muffins. Extra blueberries sound even more delicious too! 🙂
This recipe is a true winner. It took everything I me not to eat them all in one night.
Thr batter produced 15 for me and 20 minutes was a tad too long. I’ll definitely be making these again though.
Great job with this recipe Quinn, it will be my go to blueberry muffin recipe from now on.
