These Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins are filled with juicy blueberries that are swirled into a sweet batter and topped with a cinnamon streusel. Soft, moist, and bursting with flavor, these muffins are just as delicious as the ones that you would find at a bakery!
Happy 2017, friends!
Wow, does that feel weird to type. And say. And write!
I feel like I just got used to saying (and writing) 2016, and now I have to change yet again.
I hope you all had the most wonderful holiday season and a very happy start to the new year. I sure did, and I’m ready to start the year off with a bang! Or, in this case, muffins!
See, it’s become an unofficial tradition of sorts that I share with you a muffin treat for the first recipe of the new year on Pumpkin ‘N Spice. It first started with these Double Chocolate Chunk Muffins in January 2015; then came these Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins in January 2016.
Soooo….in honor of my New Year’s tradition, I bring you these Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins for 2017!
I figure a favorite, classic muffin has to be a good sign for a great year, right? Well, let’s hope so, anyways!
You may remember from my ramblings last January that I’m not one to make resolutions. Sure, resolutions “seem” to be good, and for a while, they might actually work for me. But, that soon fades, and I’m let with disappointment or failure with things that I didn’t achieve. So, instead, I prefer the term “goal.”
I’m much better at setting goals for myself, and once I do that, I often end up achieving it. So, yes, let’s focus on our goals for the new year, starting with these muffins!
These Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins are filled with juicy blueberries that are swirled into a sweet batter and topped with a cinnamon streusel. Soft, moist, and bursting with flavor, these muffins are just as delicious as the ones that you would find at a bakery!
And my goal for you is to make these muffins. But, like I just described, they’re not just any kind of muffin, these are bakery style muffins. By baking these cuties at a high oven temperature for 5 minutes, then lowering the temperature and continuing to bake (without opening the oven door!), it helps to make the muffins rounder and more dome-shaped. Like the muffins you would find in a bakery!
if you’re a fan of blueberry muffins, then you’ve got to try these Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins. The batter is slightly sweetened, the blueberries are juicy and flavorful, and the tops are sprinkled with a sweet cinnamon streusel. One bite and you’ll be hooked on the light and fluffy texture, flavorful blueberries, and crunchy topping.
Some tips to remember:
- To achieve the bakery style muffin appearance, preheat your oven to 425F and bake the muffins for 5 minutes at that temperature. Then, without opening the oven door, lower the temperature to 375F and bake at this temperature for the rest of the time.
- If you don’t want your blueberries sinking to the bottom of the muffin batter when baked, be sure to toss them with a little all-purpose flour. This helps to coat them and keep them suspended in the batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough! That will result in a dense and chewy muffin, not a light and fluffy texture that we are going for.
So, let’s start the year off with a bang and whip up a classic favorite. I guarantee you’ll love the sweet taste of these Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins!

Cinnamon Streusel
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
