Bigger Bolder Baking what can be substituted for yogurt?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You can use sour cream or a nice thick buttermilk

Could you use sour cream instead of yogurt?

[@iartistdotme]

I tried this recipe today and it is a keeper. Easy, fast, and really good muffins. I'll keep the recipe as a great basic one to add my own tastes to. Next time I will try lemon juice instead of vanilla and double the amount to make a pan full for my whole family coming in two weeks. The crumb topping is great but would be all over my house after the grands dig in so a coffee cake style using forks may help that problem. I want to use real whipped cream over top or maybe vanilla ice cream. You picked a great name for this recipe!

I Love Blueberries and Muffins...

[@kellyoconnor1035]

Hi Gemma! I love blueberry muffins! I love all your muffin recipes! I have already baked several variations of your crazy muffins with Gorgeous results! I just haven't been able to upload a photo because they get eaten before I am able to take the picture.😊 I have all of the ingredients in my cupboard right now!👩‍🍳So excited about making these brilliant muffins today!Added bonus, my niece sevda who is 4 and a very picky eater, is a blueberry lover! I see delicious muffins in her future🤗. Fun fact - I also live by the motto there can never be enough crumb topping on a muffin😍. Much love🙋‍♀️❤💚🍀

[@bibianesproule5876]

Love this recipe, of course blueberries are the best, we grow lots at our farm!! I add just a little lemon rind to the batter and it gives such a nice tang! Thanks for sharing!!👍🌷

[@LydiaApril]

These definitely have to be the best blueberry muffins, love the streusel topping. Perfect for a weekend breakfast, thanks for sharing Gemma! Have a great weekend! 💜

Bigger Bolder Baking Definitely will! I've been looking for a good one for years now

[@nnz2791]

Made this today. So delicious as if it came out from a bakery 😊 I twist a bit by reducing sugar, add milk choc chunk, because blueberry and chocolate were good together. The crumb topping is to die for. Thanks Gemma.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Well done to you! I'm happy you got on well with the recipe!

Awesome Blueberry Muffins...thank you so much for sharing!

[@rebeccaryan1779]

Just made these today! I didn't have regular milk, only buttermilk and that paired with Fage greek yogurt made it tart. The texture was great! I knew when making the crumb that I wouldn't like so much flour in the crumb. I was right. Next time I'll try it with butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Also will try with regular milk and adding lemon zest. Will also try without a crumb. My husband was a HUGE fan!!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Well done, Rebecca! We're delighted to hear this. Thank you for sharing.

Hey there, my son and I just made these with some dried blueberries from Costco and these were still AMAZING. They smell so delicious 🤤 and taste even better. Thanks 😊

Glad you like them! Well done to you and your son!

[@georgiafinch9722]

Stuck on lockdown here in the UK and lemme tell you. This took me 15 mins to prep and only 20mins to bake (made smaller muffins) and DAMN. Best blueberry muffins I’ve ever had. And SO easy! I subbed half the sugar for light soft brown sugar and it was just amazing! Also decided not to make the topping, as trying to preserve ingredients that are hard to get hold of, so instead just sprinkled with some brown sugar, worked brilliantly. Thank you so much for keeping me going during this difficult time!!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Well done, Georgia! Be well!

[@yzmaronmione]

So glad I came across your recipe when I had extra blueberries at home. The TOPPER RECIPE WAS BOMB. It made all the difference!!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I'm delighted to hear that! I hope they turned out well.

Hi, Gemma! Thanks again for another baking gem!😉 Yes, it's a pun sent with love💚. I know what I need to make for our afternoon tea today. Your enthusiam (a happy dance AND a happy song) helped to convince me to "get baking"!! That crumb topping is good for an apple crisp, but you've brought it one step bolder with blueberry muffins--FUN! Thank you!☺

[@FroobTubeLIVE]

3:14 "Don't bleed and the colour doesn't run". Literally 2 seconds later it immediately starts to do just that lol. What I've found for myself and baking blueberry muffins is that fresh blueberries bleed the most. Frozen on the other hand, doesn't if you follow these steps: - Rinse your frozen bloobs with continuously running cold water in a sieve/colander/whatever you want to call it, until the water starts to run clear - Get 2 large cloths, or 2 small towels that you don't care about potentially staining-something very thick and absorbent like terry cloth - Spread out your bloobs on one towel in a SINGLE layer; nothing piled on top of each other - Use the 2nd towel and GENTLY rub the bloobs dry - Alternate between dry spots on each towel as desired/needed - Your bloobs are perfect to use once they are slightly wrinkled, and you can rub your hand on them and extremely little colour (ideally none, but it's okay) is rubbed off onto your hand

[@Maiden_Warrior_Crone]

My favorite blueberry muffin trick is to replace the milk with orange juice for a nice hint of citrus flavor. Adds just that extra little bit of special.

Dear Gemma you are brilliant ❤❤ One question,is you oven convection? Mine is I’m confused with the temperature because you didn’t mention what type of oven you are using then one can adjust the oven I would appreciate your answer ❤😊

[@biggerbolderbaking]

As with most recipes, I use a conventional or standard oven. If using a convection oven, lower the baking temperature in the recipe by -25F / -15C and use bottom heating only. Place the muffins in the middle rack. Hope this helps.

[@RinusCuisine]

I love blueberry muffins 🤩

[@sunnyjefferylifestar521]

Rinu’s Cuisine Totally Agree

[@msr1116]

Tossing frozen berries in a bit of flour provides a coating to keep them suspended throughout the muffin, rather than sinking to the bottom to possibly create a soggy mess.

[@newt1834]

msr111 myth.

[@vegasbrit9440]

Actually this is NOT myth but tried and tested hack from bakers down the years. Not only with frozen, but with fresh berries, or nuts for instance if were baking a banana/walnut bread this would be advised too. I do it every time and have no nuts sink to the bottom, perfection guaranteed. 👌🏻

[@destinycastillo6094]

Flour doesnt always work, it depends more on the consistency of the batter. Best thing to do is keep some plain muffin mix to the side and put a spoonful of plain batter in the bottom of each cup before adding the blueberry mix. Works every time.
