Legendary Blueberry Muffins

Do you want to make the best blueberry muffin recipe?

In New England, blueberry muffins from Jordan Marsh, one of our iconic department stores, were legendary. Jordan Marsh was absorbed by Macy's in 1996, but the blueberry muffin recipe lives on.

This week I bought some beautiful, plump blueberries at the grocery store.  They were perfect for these Jordan Marsh Copycat Blueberry Muffins.

Reasons You'll Love These Blueberry Muffins

These blueberry muffins are full of blueberries. There are plenty of blueberries in every bite.

Lemon zest and cinnamon enhance the flavor of the blueberries.  I added the zest of one lemon because I think it brightens and enhances the flavor of the muffins. I also added one teaspoon of cinnamon because everything tastes better with a little cinnamon.

The Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffins always had a crunchy, sugary topping.  You'll get that effect by sprinkling the top of the muffins generously with granulated sugar before baking.  I like about 1/4 teaspoon of sugar per muffin, but you might want more than that.  Make them however you like them.

These muffins are easy and quick to make. That means you can whip these muffins up for breakfast or brunch.  You'll want to let them cool for about 30 minutes before serving, so plan for about 90 minutes from start to serving time.

Blueberry Muffins Recipe

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 40 Min

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• zest of one lemon
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup half & half
• one pint of fresh blueberries
• granulated sugar for topping the muffins

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line twelve muffin tins with cupcake liners.
2. Cream the butter with 3/4 cups of granulated sugar until light in color. Add the eggs, one at a time. Beat until well combined. Add the vanilla and lemon zest.
3. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Stir with a whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture alternately with the half & half, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir to combine.
4. Mash half of the fresh blueberries with a fork. Fold all of the blueberries into the batter. Using a scoop for consistency, scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Top each muffin with approximately 1/4 teaspoon of granulated sugar. The sugar will add a crunchy top to the muffins.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin, comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then remove the muffins to a rack to finish cooling.
6. These muffins are best when served warm.

Notes

These muffins are best with fresh blueberries.
