Blueberry Muffins
I saw some really fresh and cheap blueberries and I knew I have to make some blueberry muffins with them. And I’m glad I did, because they are so yummy, I couldn’t help eating them while I am taking the photos. The natural slight sourness of the blueberries is a nice contrast to the sweet muffins.

Plus, they are just so pretty to look at with the burst blueberries and the purple streaks running down the cupcake liners, and that made me really happy. I think it’s time for me to head back to the supermarket and stock up on more blueberries. The recipe is really easy because there is no electric mixer required, you just need a spatula to combine everything in a large bowl.
What is the difference between baking soda and baking powder?
I was wondering if I could use the former in this recipe ?
Yes, I think can substitute for this recipe. U can read more abt the difference here: http://chemistry.about.com/cs/foodchemistry/f/blbaking.htm

First off, your photos are amazing! I also love baking muffins, I’d say this is perfect with Mascarpone Whip on top! :)
Can I use vanilla powder instead of vanilla essence? The supermarket near my place only sells the powder form. If yes, is it also 1 tsp? Thanks alot!! :)
I have not tried with powder, but I think you can omit the vanilla essence altogether if you don’t have it, don’t need to substitute :)
Hi, I tried your recipe with my new oven but its turned out burnt on top & underbaked in the bottom. When baking should one use a bottom heating element, top or both? :/
I’m also wondering if the muffin cups affect cause I’m using a pretty tall one, probably double the height of yours in your picture.
btw, preheating the oven at 200 deg too & for how long?
I’m a novice at baking :/
Hi Grace, yes I think you can try with a shorter muffin cup. I usually preheat it for about 10 minutes before starting to bake.
Alright, will try again, thanks!
but do you usually use both the heating element or just the bottom?
My oven only comes with top heating coil, and the side is fan. I think the construction differs with the brands and models.
Tried the recipe the day before. Love that you gave the measurements of the cupcake liners you used. It helped me decide which liner I should use.
The muffins came out great though for my oven I should have stuck to 180C. Other than that, love how the blueberries spread and leave their flavour all around the muffin. In future, I would most likely add a pinch of salt.
Hi Wiffy,
Baked twice and both batches turned out awesome! :)
For a starter like me, this recipe is really great and simple. Thank you! :)

hi I tried out your blueberry muffins yesterday. They turned out very nicely :)
thanks for posting the recipe.
hi, how to get the beautiful domes like your show in the picture? how come the top part hard like biscuit? is it I blended for too long?
Hi, is your batter still lumpy before baked?
yes, the batter still lumpy before baked as i did not stir very long. Wonder is it because i am using microwave convection oven. this is the model i am using http://www.sharp.com.sg/web/products/prodDetail.asp?ProdId=64 instead of this kind http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4847704772904935&pid=15.1
