Easy Blueberry Muffins
This easy Blueberry Muffin recipe requires just a few simple ingredients to put together and is a great recipe to make with the kids! Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.
Equipment
- 2x 12 hole muffin trays
Ingredients
- 2 & ½ cups self raising flour 375 grams
- ½ cup caster sugar 110 grams
- 1 & ½ cups of milk 380 grams
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams butter
- 300 grams of blueberries – fresh or frozen fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and lightly grease two x 12 hole muffin baking trays – you can also use paper muffin cases.
- Place the butter into a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 seconds or until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and add the sugar before stirring to combine and make a well in the centre.
- In a large jug, combine the milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture from the jug into the well and add the cooled melted butter. Gently fold the ingredients together with a large metal spoon until the mixture is almost combined.
- Add the blueberries and gently fold through – make sure you don’t over mix as they blueberries will bleed (if using frozen) and overworking the mixture will give you a dense muffin.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tins and place into the oven to bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until cooked through when tested.
- Carefully remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the baking trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Thermomix Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and lightly grease two x 12 hole muffin baking trays – you can also use paper muffin cases.
- Place the butter into your Thermomix bowl and cook for 3 minutes at 60 degrees on speed 2 or until melted.
- Add the self raising flour, caster sugar, milk, eggs and vanilla essence and mix for 10 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down. Mix for another 10 seconds on speed 5 or until just combined – it’s ok if the mixture is a little lumpy!
- Add the blueberries and gently stir through using your spatula.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through when tested with a skewer.
- Carefully remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the baking trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Messes everywhere! Mine don’t limit themselves to being messy in the kitchen 🙂 Only sort-of kidding… but at 4 and 2, what can you expect? My oldest has always loved helping me but it’s time I got my little one involved in the fun. They are serious muffin lovers, too, so I know we’ll have fun with this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Oh I know what you mean! It’s great to involve them – but the mess!!

I love blueberry muffins so much but hate the majority of store0bought ones. So artificial and sickly sweet! I definitely need to give these a go.
