The secret's in the sour cream and you must follow the steps precisely. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do! Bakery quality at home. These are not overly sweet and two cups of blueberries are most adequate, but feel free to load them up. :)

Blue Ribbon Recipe

When we first saw this blueberry muffin recipe we thought everything was wrong. There was too much sour cream, the temperature was too high and there was too much batter. Boy, we have never been happier to be wrong. This is an amazing blueberry muffin - bakery quality. It's tender and moist with blueberries in every bite. Use all the batter when filling the cupcake tins and after they're baked you have the perfect muffin top. The sugary topping is perfect on top. These are delicious!
