How To Make junior's 'berries on top' jumbo blueberry muffins

  • 1
    First of all, divide up your berries into three different batches - set aside a 2/3 cup portion for mashing, then divide the remaining berries into two equal portions - one portion for folding into the batter, and the remainder for dropping on top.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 3
    Grease 6 jumbo muffins tins or 12 regular size muffin tins well.
  • 4
    Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • 5
    In another bowl, on high speed with an electric mixer, cream the butter about 2 minutes- until light and fluffy.
  • 6
    With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and mix well.
  • 7
    Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well.
  • 8
    Continue to beat until creamy and batter looks light yellow.
  • 9
    Mix in vanilla and mashed berries until well combined.
  • 10
    Lower speed of mixer to medium, beat in some of the flour mixture, then some of the milk, and then more flour etc- in three portions each.
  • 11
    Beat batter until airy and well combined, about 1 more minute.
  • 12
    Gently fold in one of the portions of whole berries.
  • 13
    Fill muffing tins almost all the way full.
  • 14
    Drop the remaining portion of whole berries individually atop the muffin batter.
