Notes

  1. Make Ahead: The batter can be made up to a day in advance. Follow the instructions through step 5. When you're ready to bake the muffins, add the blueberries and proceed with the rest of the recipe.
  2. Freeze It: The muffins can be frozen for up to 2 months. I freeze them in a resealable bag. When you're ready to eat them, you can thaw them at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave them straight from the freezer for about 20 seconds.
