Blueberry Cream Muffins Recipe. Soft, Bakery-Style Muffins You Can Make at Home

If you’ve ever stayed with us, you know how important breakfast is. There’s something about a warm blueberry muffin that just feels like comfort—especially when it’s soft, rich, and packed with real blueberries. These Blueberry Cream Muffins have quickly become a favorite here at Sugar Tree Inn, and for good reason.

They’re light, moist, and just the right balance of sweet and tangy. Whether you’re making them for a weekend breakfast, brunch with friends, or just because you’re craving something homemade, this recipe delivers that bakery-style texture without the hassle.

Before you get started, watch our step-by-step video so you can follow along and see exactly how we make them in our kitchen.

---

• Made with sour cream for extra moisture
• Soft, fluffy texture with a tender crumb
• Packed with fresh (or frozen) blueberries
• Simple ingredients, easy to follow

---

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (if you use GF flour, be sure to add an extra egg)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

---

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Grease muffins tins or use paper tins.
2. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Slowly add the sugar while beating the eggs. Add oil, stirring in slowly, then add vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
4. Stir the flour mix into the egg mixture alternating with the sour cream a little at a time. Continue mixing until everything is blended together. Gently stir in blueberries.
5. Scoop batter into your muffin tins. (We use jumbo muffins tins with jumbo parchment paper muffin liners. We can get 16 muffins with this recipe.)
6. Bake until the toothpick test comes out clear...about 20 minutes.

If you want these muffins to turn out like they do in our kitchen, don’t skip these tips:

• Don’t overmix the batter – this keeps them light and fluffy
• Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter
• Fill muffin cups evenly for consistent baking
• Let them rest slightly before serving so they set properly

---

You can use either, but here’s how to choose:

• Fresh blueberries → best for texture and presentation
• Frozen blueberries → great year-round option (don’t thaw before using)

Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Yes! Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.

Can I substitute the cream?
You can, but the cream is what gives these muffins their rich texture. Milk or half-and-half will work, but results will vary.

Why are my muffins dense?
Most likely from overmixing the batter. Keep it gentle.
