the best muffin recipe
February 9, 2009
These muffins are sweet and fruity, and just downright delicious! We currently are trying to tweak the recipe to make them a bit healthier. This last batch was good, but it lost some of its happiness. Once we get the perfect amount of ingredients, I’ll post that recipe, but for now here is the original one.
The Muffin Recipe
BAKE: 20 minutes | YIELD: One Dozen
2 eggs
1 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. sour cream*
1 cup blueberries (or strawberries with a banana, or another type of berry, etc.)
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add sugar, oil, vanilla, and sour cream, mixing well. All at one time, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until all is moistened and slightly lumpy. Fold in berries. Pour into oiled muffin cups, fill 2/3 full and bake at 400° for 20 minutes. These full size muffins freeze and thaw very well. This recipe makes 12 muffins.
*A healthier tweak: can be substituted with 1 cup kefir or 1 cup plain yogurt.
While living the life my Lord has blessed me with, I am at home with my family enjoying being a daughter, homemaker and artist. My highest goal is to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever. It is He that has saved me with His amazing grace and is continually molding me; to Him I owe everything. Read more . . .
Oh, yummy! I love muffins! By the way, how was the conference? I bet it was great! Joy told me you are designing her blog, that’s so exciting! :)
Mmmm, these muffins look delicious! I’ll have to make them sometime. Thanks for sharing, Emily!

Oooo! Yummo! I have a weakness for blueberries!
Oh my….these muffins look absolutely scrumptious!!
I make Church snack once a month and will hope to make these for it next time, except I probably will make them in my mini muffin pan. Thanks ever so much for sharing the recipe, Miss Emily Rose! ;)
Many Blessings,
Miss Jen
Those look yummy. :-) What a fun blog – I think it is hilarious that our blog titles are so similar. Have a great day!
Oh, what a lovely picture! Those muffins sound delightful.
They look delicious! :b…
I’m drooling just looking at them.
A little wheat germ in there would bring up the fiber count. You could also make it 1/3 wheat flour. Just some healthy food tips. I make blueberry bran muffins, they’re healthy, but yummy!
I miss you more than I can convey. :(
Love you all,
Marie :)
They look so yummy. I just made blueberry muffins two days ago, but these look way tastier than the ones I made. Thanks for sharing.
These look SO good!! Your photo just makes me want to go and put a tea kettle on and have some! Thanks for sharing your photos and recipe!
Today just happened to be my baking day and I decided to whip up a batch of your beautiful muffins. They turned out delicious. After I get some more blueberries I’ll be making a huge batch to freeze.
Thanks for sharing~ Cinnamon
Mmmmmm……mouth watering!!! :)

Mmmm! Those look particularly good right about now! Do you think Blackberries would work? I don’t think we have any other kind of berries right now.
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

We make these, too!! and yes, they are the BEST! :D
Yummmmmmmmmmm……those sound really good! Yes, we often change up the recipe to make them more healthy.:)
Blessings,
Miss Hannah
Those muffins look simply delicious!
Yum! I will have to try the recipe soon!
Thanks for sharing the recipe, Emily Rose!
Maybe I will try making them with whole wheat flour :)
Thanks!
Hello, I am new to your blog. Just beautiful. You should be able to use 100% whole wheat pastry flour or spelt and still have a tender crumb. You can also freeze your muffins unbaked and bake them off frozen, that way you have a fresher muffin. I am off to look more at your blog. Clarice
