Steps to Make Joanna Gaines’ Blueberry Muffins
Create Mouthwatering Blueberry Streusel Muffins
Warm up the oven to 350°F. Grab a muffin tin and coat it with cooking spray or line with cupcake liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
Mix sugar and flour in a bowl. Crumble in cold butter until the mixture looks like rough pebbles. Stash it in the fridge while you continue baking.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Gently mix in eggs and vanilla, blending until smooth.
Slowly fold in flour mixture and sour cream, alternating between the two. Be gentle – overmixing can make tough muffins. Softly incorporate frozen blueberries into the batter.
Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the chilled streusel over the top of each muffin, creating a delightful crunchy layer.
Slide the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 24-28 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should come out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly before serving, then watch as everyone enjoys these irresistible treats.
Muffin Tips & Add-ins (Joanna Style)
Replace blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or diced strawberries for a delightful flavor twist. Each fruit brings its own unique personality to the muffin party.
Fold in chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch and healthy fats. Sprinkle chia or flax seeds to increase the nutritional value without compromising taste.
Substitute plain flour with a gluten-free blend to accommodate dietary restrictions. Use almond or coconut flour for a different texture and nutty undertone.
Keep ingredients at room temperature for smoother mixing. Never overmix the batter – stir just until ingredients combine to prevent tough, dense muffins. Gently fold berries to avoid breaking them and turning your batter purple.

- Yield: 11 1x
Description
Joanna Gaines blueberry muffins combine comfort and classic Southern charm with simple, wholesome ingredients. Homemade goodness shines through these tender, sweet breakfast treats that welcome family around the morning table.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 8 tbsps (½ cup or 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup frozen blueberries, unthawed
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 ⅓ cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsps all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ cup plus 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsps cold unsalted butter
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Streusel Preparation: Blend granulated sugar and flour in a small bowl. Incorporate cold butter until mixture achieves a coarse, crumbly consistency. Refrigerate topping while preparing muffin batter.
- Dry Ingredient Blend: Whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside for later incorporation.
- Butter Creaming: Utilize electric mixer to cream softened butter with granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes. Gradually integrate eggs and vanilla extract, increasing mixer speed to ensure smooth blending.
- Batter Development: Alternate mixing dry ingredients and sour cream on low speed, combining until just incorporated. Delicately fold frozen blueberries throughout the batter using a gentle spatula technique.
- Muffin Assembly: Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Prepare muffin tin with cooking spray or cupcake cases. Distribute batter evenly, filling each cup approximately three-quarters full. Sprinkle chilled streusel topping generously over each muffin.
- Baking Process: Place muffin tin in preheated oven, baking for 24–28 minutes. Verify doneness by inserting a toothpick into muffin center; it should emerge clean and free of raw batter.
- Serving: Allow muffins to rest briefly in tin before transferring. Serve warm to maximize flavor and enjoy optimal texture.
Notes
- Chill Streusel Topping: Cold butter creates a crumbly, crisp texture that enhances the muffin’s overall deliciousness.
- Handle Blueberries Gently: Fold frozen berries carefully to prevent color bleeding and maintain whole fruit integrity throughout the batter.
- Check Baking Precisely: Ovens vary, so start checking muffins at 22 minutes to avoid overdrying or burning the delicate edges.
- Optimize Mixing Technique: Mix dry and wet ingredients just until combined to ensure tender, soft muffins without developing tough gluten strands.
