- Make your crumble topping. Prepare the brown sugar topping by mixing together brown sugar, butter and flour.
- Bake. Spoon the batter into the muffin molds, sprinkle on top of the muffins batter and bake for 20-25 mins.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries for this blueberry muffin recipe, although I prefer using fresh blueberries. You will notice that your frozen blueberries may tend to bleed into the batter and will color the batter.
When using frozen blueberries bake the muffins for up to 10 minutes longer. Baking times may differ depending on your oven so make sure to check on the muffins periodically when cooking.
How do I stop my muffins from sticking?
You can bake muffins straight in a muffin tin, or you can use paper liners. To stop the muffins from sticking, use a nonstick pan and lightly grease the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
If you’re using liners, spray the liners with a light coating of nonstick cooking spray to keep the muffins from sticking to the wrapper.
How to store these Blueberry Muffins
You can store blueberry muffins at room temperature for up to 5 to 7 days. You can also freeze your blueberry muffins for up to six months for best quality.
Tips!
- If you do not have store bought buttermilk available, you can add 2 teaspoons of either white vinegar or lemon juice to sour the milk.
- In order to help the crumble stay on the muffins, gently press the crumble on to the top of the muffin before you cook it.
- If you don’t have sour cream you can use yogurt, both add a lovely moisture to the muffins.
- The brown sugar topping is completely optional, the muffins still taste great without it. The brown sugar topping helps add a little extra sweetness and extra crunch to the muffins.
- Freeze the baked & cooled muffins for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature before enjoying.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
