Treat your ingredients with care...
- Blueberries — Gently wash the blueberries and pat them dry before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent excess moisture in the muffins.
- Greek yogurt — Use plain Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor and creamy texture. If you prefer a milder taste, you can use vanilla Greek yogurt instead.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can add a streusel topping made with butter, flour, and brown sugar.
- To make the muffins more indulgent, you can drizzle a lemon glaze over the cooled muffins.
Serving advice
Serve the New Jersey Blueberry Muffins warm or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own, but you can also spread some butter or cream cheese on top for an extra treat.
Presentation advice
Arrange the muffins on a serving platter or a rustic wooden board. Dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint for a pop of color.
