How to Make Mini Blueberry Muffins
We can walk through how to make mini blueberry muffins to make sure these turn out incredible!
Start by preheating your oven and spraying your mini muffin pan with a non-stick spray. Also, grab out your egg and allow it to come to room temperature and melt then cool your butter.
In a medium bowl combine all of the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Then in a separate small bowl combine your cooled butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Then, fold in your blueberries.
Lastly, use two spoons to easily fill each muffin space ¾ of the way full and pop in the oven to bake for about 12-14 minutes. Be sure to allow them to cool before removing from the pan and enjoying!

A Word From a Registered Dietitian
Mini Blueberry Muffins are a great way to pack in flavor, fiber, and antioxidants in a kid-friendly bite. Blueberries provide natural sweetness along with vitamin C and beneficial plant compounds, while using a mini muffin tin helps keep portions balanced for little hands (and adults who love a quick snack).
Pair these muffins with a protein source like yogurt, cheese, or a hard-boiled egg to create a satisfying, nourishing breakfast or lunchbox addition.
