This was my first time making muffins! I’ve been wanting to bake blueberry muffins for a while now, ever since I saw a recipe for them on Instagram. As a kid, I remember my uncle and cousins making blueberry muffins, and they’ve been my favorite flavor ever since. I finally decided to make them because I wanted something blueberry themed and also a protein bake for the week.
They turned out pretty good overall. The only thing I wish was different is the shape. I wanted them to puff up more like traditional muffins, but they came out looking more like blueberry bites. They still tasted delicious, though. One thing I thought was really cool was the color of the blueberries once they were baked. Since some got mashed, the inside had this pretty purple color.
The batter made around 24 muffins, give or take. One thing I learned: make sure you have enough paper muffin liners! They make such a difference when removing the muffins from the pan. I didn’t use any oil on one batch that didn’t have liners, and the bottoms stuck and crumbled apart. So definitely use liners or at least grease the pan next time.
I’d give this recipe 5 out of 5 cactuses. The smell when they came out of the oven instantly brought me back to my childhood, that nostalgic feeling of eating fresh blueberry muffins while playing the Wii at my old house. My cousins and family were all there, and it was such a fun memory. I do wish my muffins looked like the ones on the recipe website, but mine still came out a beautiful golden brown and tasted amazing.
