Tips

  • Make sure your milk and egg are at room temperature before you start.
  • Try to use an oil that has a very mild favor.
  • Do not over mix the batter as it will affect the density of the muffins. Just mix until the batter has just combined. A few lumps are completely fine.
  • Be careful not to crush the blueberries when mixing.
  • Muffins can be stored for several days in an airtight container. They are perfect to freeze as well.
  • You can make your own self raising flour by mixing one cup of flour and 2 tsp of baking powder together.
  • Try not to overload the muffins with berries. Too many berries will cause the batter to sink and the bottoms to become soggy.

 

Always remember that if you fail it is a learning experience and not the end of the world. Baking is something that takes practice. Failures give you an opportunity to look at what went wrong and why. That knowledge and experience is so important for any baker regardless of skill level. Everyone starts somewhere.
