The Best Homemade Blueberry Muffins with Claire Saffitz & Mom! | Dessert Person

[@yourbakerina]

I am absolutely up for watching Claire and Sauci make Aunt Tillie's apple cake.

[@keops02]

We need it

[@nikkihayes9236]

MEEEEEE TOO!!💯 It's the recipe we never knew we NEEDED till this episode!😂💖

[@lisamoore6804]

I would love to see the apple cake too.

[@JaxHolder1]

Apple picking then apple cake please!!!

[@thisbretthall]

Destined to be KZbin video OF THE YEAR!!

[@PabloRodRest]

A couple minutes in and im already in love with the banter between Claire and her mom. 😂❤️

[@ItsKarenReyes]

Agreed! So cute I honestly want more

[@danielj6387]

We need way more Sauci!! And the best part was her not picking up any of Claire’s hints: “do you want tea or coffee with these?” “Remember when we used to put butter on them while they were still warm?” 😂

[@Balletwingert]

Okay, this recipe is super easy. Not even 5 minutes in and I got up and made the recipe with you. Literally I finished putting the batter together just as my oven was finished heating up. Including getting out the ingredients. Thank you Sauci and thank you Claire.

[@k1tkat-kate]

"We're both left-handed, you know what that makes us?" "Yes. Geniuses." I love Sauci so much!

[@SteveBohannon-s5t]

Thursday after coming home from making my mother's funeral arrangements, I watched this and it truly warmed my heart. People cast reflections of their mothers and you reflect a great one! Gratitude, peace, and love to you Claire.

[@batoolbu5054]

May she rest in peace ❤️

[@nca4794]

I hope you're surrounded by lots of love, especially during this time of year.

[@TwiggyGrant1]

“People cast reflections of their mother” -I love language and once or twice I may even have come up with an interesting turn of phrase, but I’ve never heard that one but I love it! 😘👌

[@anithap7151]

Thank you.

[@sarahpolnow]

Thank you!!

[@bartfart22]

I make this recipe at least once a month.. I end up watching the whole video and thinking, I need to write down the instructions and I never do. Thank you so much!🙏

[@carolineramage7480]

How much is a stick of butter?

[@rclg813]

I have been WAITING!!!! for a video with Claire’s mom!! This is so wholesome! 😍

[@macaoron]

I just absolutely adore the way Dessert Person feels like a family affair: not just with Sauci and Harris, but also with Vinny and Cal, and Felix and Archie of course!

[@CaulkMongler]

Sauci is such a personality, I’d honestly watch a whole series of just these two doing random things!!

[@noora_a_saetre]

I'm so happy to see the mother-daughter dynamic again, I remember absolutely loving that Thanksgiving episode from bon appetite a while ago

[@biscottaish]

Thanks for mentioning this, I missed it!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

In the earlier episode, we saw how Claire prepares her coffee, and in this one the crew makes her coffee for her. I love this continuity.

[@scruppydoo]

This video warmed my heart. Reminded me of baking with my mom. Shes disabled now and unable to cook with me now. But I still go to her house and she loves to hangout in the kitchen with me while I bake. Enjoy these moments Claire. You’ll never know when you will loose the moments.

[@PilotInCommand777]

I learned in thermodynamics class The reason you would put water in the empty muffin cups is because the mass of the pan causes what is called heat soaking. The muffin pan will heat at a slower rate when the cups are full of muffin batter. The empty cups will heat much faster and the cups with batter will hold heat much longer. Adding water to the empty cups equals out the mass of the pan and causes an even heating pattern.

[@afergie76]

I would personally like to thank Sauci for molding and leading Claire into the amazing chief and author that we absolutely love and respect. I could sit and drink coffee watching these ladies talk about baking all day. She is a spicy woman… I love it.

[@louisac8160]

I remember opening Dessert Person for the first time and seeing Claire's dedication to her mom. I'm so glad we finally got a video with her to see who first introduced Claire to baking! I'd love to see Aunt Tilly's apple cake made by Sauci and Claire sometime:)

[@brendamccarty3596]

😊

[@cydnibennett8351]

“Oh she watches the episodes?” *appalled gasp* “Of course?!!!” So sweet that Claire’s family watches the episodes, and that Sauci was so appalled at the idea that her sister maybe didn’t watch them, I loved that response :)

[@Caliyope]

My 9 year old daughter and I made these together, she pretty much did all the work and they were FABULOUS!!!!!! She said they were the best muffins she’s ever had, and she’s right ❤️

[@tammyb.9836]

Ok. Now I'm officially in love with Claire's mom!!! You're so blessed to have such an adorable, sweet and kind mother. Blessings to you both. ❤

[@i_just_do_beach]

Sauci is a queen and I’d buy the first edition of a Claire x Sauci Saffitz Family cookbook so fast

[@adamorioncactus]

I love how they were like "we are geniuses" in response to being left handed. Lol. ❤❤❤ love their relationship and mannerisms to eachother!

[@diane.fontaine]

WOW!!!! Love your mom. My 1st time seeing her share a recipe and the interaction between the both of you is PRICELESS in a great way. Making these muffins very soon. Thanks MOM for this recipe 👍🤗❤️

[@mercedesjerryn]

I love Sauci’s energy and her stories about their family members. I could bake an apple cake and porch-sit with her for hours!

[@miamoi5063]

I love your mom! She was freaking hilarious. Her blunt, dry commentary made me actually laugh out loud. More of mom!!!!

[@tscsa900]

Love the subtle mom burns in this and then the sweetness of them watching TV together ❤ - need more of this dynamic!!!

[@beatriznery2805]

I just made these muffins myself with blackberries instead. Absolutely love this recipe and the sweet points between Sauci and Claire. The best muffins I've ever had and so easy to make. I also love that Claire always explains the thought process behind recipe decisions - even as she tries to change Sauci's already perfect recipe!! Absolutely fantastic.

[@MarieRow]

Hi Just wanted to ask since i want to make these but how is the sour cream in the end result? is it really present? and also what is the flavor profile? is it too sweet or not sweet enough?

[@justisbiggart2689]

I've made this a few times now and after accidentally misreading it last time i discovered that doubling the sour cream to a full cup does wonders for this recipe. It goes from consistently just barely filling 11 muffins to a full 12 and they come out noticeably more fluffy and moist.

[@kyoungblood9]

I have made these 5x in the past week! My kids love them! I add a cup of sourdough starter and ferment in the fridge overnight and bake them in the oven in the morning for breakfast! So delicious!! ❤❤

[@carolbuzelim]

'I only make recepies that claire did' most adorable mommy ever

[@pink631667]

The dynamic is amazing “so you want me to put this away” “I want you to stop beating “ lol

[@ojaaaaaaaaaas]

19 minutes with Sauci and Claire were NOT enough!!

[@pegparrish3512]

I adore seeing Claire and Sauci at the Saffitz Compound on Cape Cod again!! Recipe is almost exactly like mine and I just figured out last year how perfect it is to freeze the blueberries and then add them at the last minute before baking. Thanks ladies for a terrific video on baking muffins! 😘

[@barbaralevin2105]

Mom & daughter duo watching this together and loving seeing the two of you baking with each other!

[@emmag.12]

Ohhh I love this! You two are sweet as can be. Sauci, please come back on the show! I would love to try this recipe with my children! If there’s sour cream in a dessert I am instantly interested.

[@MrALBANIA123456]

Thanks for the recipe! I just baked the muffins and they turned out delicious and fluffy. I swapped sour cream for homemade plain yogurt since I didn’t have any, but they’re perfect!

[@Bluetwo33]

Oh my, they're twins, they both eat their muffins the exact same way too, cute! So fun being in Sauci's kitchen with you!

[@carminewhite8786]

Thanks for the recipe Claire. It's always nice to see family bonding over cooking

[@thaniaxo]

We need Aunties apple cake recipe asap... with MOM. I love her, shes so sweet. And also these muffins look sooooo good with a cup of coffee. Yummmm!

[@druxle]

Sugar (and dry ingredients -- although sugar is often considered a "wet" ingredient) are added slowly so as to not fling them out of the mixing bowl before they have a chance to be incorporated into the mix. Happy Baking! I used to bake with my aunt when I was younger (rip) and Claire's vibe reminds me of her so much. Especially with her mom getting in on the banter. ❤

[@deliabottoms285]

Hi Claire! I absolutely love watching you and your mom bake together! The warmth and love between you two just shows throughout the entire video!💞 I attend a yearly Christmas exchange ornament brunch which is coming up in November. My friend Rebecca hosts the entire thing and bakes and cooks for all 12 ladies that attend. She lays out her table with a nice tablecloth, her dishes, flatware and glasses. We had often offered to help with the meal but she has told us repeatedly not to worry and to just bring ourselves and our homemade ornaments for the exchange. It's a lot of fun. We enjoy our meal together that is served with either a choice of a mimosa, or a delicious drink that she makes with honeysuckle vodka which is to die for! Coffee is also offered as well of course, but who wants that when you can have yourself a yummy cocktail created by the hostess herself? I tried again this year to offer and suggested that I could contribute some blueberry muffins. Well guess what? She accepted! And you can guess by now which blueberry muffins I'm going to make!😅 Your recipe looks so easy and so delicious and I like all those little extra things you do like freezing fresh blueberries and using those rather than the ready packaged ones from the market. Plus adding that sugar on top is kicking it up a notch to a different level of deliciousness. And the combination of butter and sour cream is something that just can't be beat! I have tried cakes made with the same combo and it just adds a richness oh, a wonderful marvelous richness..yummmm! Looking forward to making them and most likely I will have to make extra for my husband. Anytime he watches me bake anything for an event or a party, he always ask me if there's going to be anything left behind for him. I got the hint years ago, so I always make extra so he can enjoy something with his coffee for breakfast!😋 I love all your recipes and I enjoy watching you prepare each one. And I always learn something from you Claire! Some little tip or technique that I can incorporate in my own baking or cooking. Thank you for all you do. 😊

[@audreygiles7431]

In my family, we make blueberry muffins Christmas morning. It’s been a family tradition for 30+ years. I want to try these! I love the banter between you and your mom. It’s so precious! Can’t wait for more Sassy Sauci videos in the future! 😍

[@JoletteRoodt]

These two together are the most wholesome thing ever 🥹💔 Absolutely made my day!

[@elbacono]

You feel the love flowing when Sauci started talking about the mixer.

[@sinnohshifter09]

Omg. Me and my mom watch together and we are obsessed seeing Claire and her mom bake together! More mother/daughter bakes! ❤

[@MarcHatePage]

Sauci needs to make more guest appearances! she is so funny

[@hershiexoxo8159]

literally the best blueberry muffin recipe ever!! the tang from the sour cream pairs so well with the sweet flavors of the muffin, man nothing beats this muffin!!!

[@TwiggyGrant1]

I’m loving the mother daughter dynamic! Sauci is adorable and makes me miss my Grandma Flo who was my aunt but told 3 year old me when my grandmother passed that she’d be my grandma if I wanted. And I did. She was the best baker in the world.🥹 I’m making these muffins in raspberry for my family this weekend, wish me luck!

[@ke380]

Yes, please, to the apple cake! How wonderful having such a skilled baker as your mom and mentor!!

[@1114gg]

Sauci is delightful! More Sauci, please! I am of the same generation and also add water to vacant muffin slots. I was told it was to aid heat distribution.

[@tragics99]

this was such a comforting video, I could listen to Sauci talk for hours

[@cathyroe6556]

Love this! The muffins look wonderful and it's great to see Claire and her Mom bake together

[@kkungu7959]

You can tell a wonderful lady by how she relates with her mother. This was quite entertaining to watch

[@brialayne5287]

I watched the video yesterday and made the muffins today. I thought how could these be better than any other muffin I’ve made before (and it’s been quite a few, I love baking). I can attest to these being bakery style. Super moist and it has great flavor, just the right amount of sweetness and the turbinado sugar crunch is always a must on muffins. I upped the salt to a scant teaspoon and vanilla to a full teaspoon.

[@alexdnda]

I heard the water in the empty cups thing in culinary school! I believe is it to prevent cheaper, thin pans from warping due to getting hotter in the oven when empty. I don’t know anyone who actually does that though 😂 I love baking with my family and documenting family recipes. The generational connection is one of my favorite things about cooking and baking. Thanks for sharing your time with your mom with us Claire!

[@CassBlast5]

This was precious! Mrs. Saffitz is so comfortable on camera, I’m impressed. Also Sauci Saffitz is a powerful name 💥

[@jl7998]

I would watch a whole series with Claire and her mom! It's finally great to see Sauci in a video! More pls!

[@taylorn9361]

Just made these and they are the best blueberry muffins I’ve ever had. They’re sooo buttery and light. Thank you!!❤

[@simnzu5565]

Need to see y’all make the Apple Cake!! Loved this and the Patreon episode with Sauci!!

[@kwidammy]

Just made a batch of it, my whole kitchen smells divine and the water tip actually makes a huge difference ❤️ Thank you for sharing! Looking forward for the apple cake recipe! Ps You mom is just so adorable 🥹

[@user-kh8oi5xr1d]

My sister gave me this recipe at least 25 years and still a family favourite. I enjoyed watching you and you mother baking together and love your channel.

[@javinicole96]

Her mom it's so lovely, I could listen to her talk for hour

[@arin8821]

these are some of the best muffins I’ve made! I’m in high elevation so I added a lil more flour and baked at 400

[@sandrasermos9365]

Claire and Sauci, What a pleasure to watch you both. I remember the class you added to our class at Wydown Middle School.

[@eolitek]

I love Clair and her mother. Feels like a great version of my family.

[@jennyisme7558]

I just made these and they're amazingly light and fluffy. Not too sweet, either. Thanks for the great recipe, Sauci!

[@ArgentAbendAzure]

Thanks for being on dessert people Sauci! Now we know where Claire got her baking talent.

[@judyweinstock9972]

And from her dad's side of the family.

[@BrandonJenkins-v3o]

Your mother is the most precious person i've ever seen!

[@austinhall6255]

We love Sauci! This was so fun to watch y'all interact with the overlap of little mom/daughter quirks.

[@alonsoquesada1136]

I love Claire, but for the life of me, you need to get her mom her own channel or show, I'd watch that lady cook and tell stories for hours on end. What a lovely soul ❤

[@slayz-mt7nr]

I tried this recipe today, and trust me IT WAS SOO GOOD!!! the muffins were probably the best I've ever had and it was literally perfectly soft, tender, and light. Thank you Claire!!

[@mymai5859]

This is such a great vid. Your mum Sauci is brilliant. Never take it down. How cool that on both sides of your family tree there were great bakers 🧁

[@MaryMontes-u5i]

Please bring on the apple cake recipe. I’m a cook and I make muffins every day at work. I whisk all my wet ingredients for the blueberry muffins, almost identically the same that you have in your recipe, including the sour cream. I whisk my dry ingredients separately including sugar. Then add the blueberries to the dry ingredients, moving them around, so they’re very well coated. Then they won’t sink to the bottom of the muffin. Then I fold the wet and dry ingredients together gently just until everything is moistened and no more. I then baked them in a preheated 425° oven for five minutes. Then turn down to 350°F for an additional 15 minutes. My mother always used to say alternate the wet and dry ingredients ending up with the dry. I ditched that concept a long time ago because I found out it didn’t make any difference with most recipes. Loved your video. first time watching. I give anything to cook with my mother again. She would’ve loved KZbin.

[@neongrump6213]

Made these today for Christmas breakfast tomorrow and they are amazing! I didn’t have sour cream so I used plain Greek yogurt and came out sooo moist!

[@courtneyroark5820]

Please. Please. Please make more episodes with Sauci! Loved this SOO much, Claire!!

[@ocoangel05]

❤I made the muffins and it was so good and so easy . Your mom is so cute and good at giving the directions ahead is great. Bring her more to your programs

[@suzannneglicerio4135]

I make these muffins four times a week. They are absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing a classic 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jacquelyn4374]

Your mom is so cute! Love seeing how people interact with their parents

[@sarahp3144]

LOVE this video!!!! Love seeing a wholesome mother/daughter relationship and bonding over baking. Warms my heart 🥰

[@Pearlypearly4965]

Amazing episode this was so sweet and wholesome to watch, and I hope to see more of dessert people!!!!!! With sweet sauci of course❣️

[@glittermytimbers]

I love using frozen wild blueberries for baking. They disperse really evenly and I’ve never had them sink on me. And of course the same benefit of not discoloring the batter.

[@phyllisreinking4208]

Enjoy seeing the appreciation/love they have for each other.

[@mylesnmore]

Made these yesterday w the kiddo, they turned out great! I will prob add more sugar next time round, but these are great if you don’t want them “too sweet”. Light and fluffy as they said!

[@belialren]

It’s so funny to see have to deal with her mom on camera. The things she does for us. 🥰 these turned out great!

[@faitharco5721]

*claire explains why alternating ingredients is important* Saucci: okay anywayyys 😂lol thats such a mom thing to lowkey disregard what you’re going on about and focus on the task at hand

[@Tzvetelinasen]

What a great and simple recipe! Turned so delicious. Thank you!

[@leslieshepard6947]

I love that you're baking with your mom! So cute!

[@kalenamichele3114]

Awwww! I remember that kitchen! Ah, the good old times at BA. That was one of their best episodes. I'm so so happy to see Claire and Sauci again in that kitchen.

[@TheOisSilent]

Made these and added poppy seeds + the juice from a quarter lemon for xtra lemony flavor. Put the whole recipe in a 6-muffin tin. Waiting for them to come out of the oven :) so excited.

[@ericamoney6257]

This is so adorable omg. Sauci and Claire together is a treasure

[@sharonsmithcambridge176]

I made this with my boys today. Substituted the sour cream with Greek yogurt. This recipe was PHENOMENAL! ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing this! Yum!!

[@diane.fontaine]

I’m making these now since my son & granddaughter are coming for breakfast tomorrow. YES Aunt Tillie’s apple cake with Sauci and you of course would be GREAT 👏🇨🇦🙋‍♀️🤩🤗💗❤️💕❤️

[@justmecdg]

Super moist and lovely muffins! I actually made a batch where I made chocolate chip muffins (eliminating the zest). I also made muffin tops, but I had to reduce the amount of time to 14-ish minutes. Absolutely yummy muffin recipe!!

[@plan_b8009]

AMAZING RECIPE !!! made it in less than an hour, came out absolutely perfectly and looks amazing!!! THANK YOU CLAIRE

[@halemackenzie21]

NOT MAMA SAFFITZ- my heart can't handle it

[@TheHollie317704]

Love this recipe! I’ve made it twice, so far. First time exactly as written. Second time I subbed whole wheat flour, orange zest, and marscapone instead of sour cream. Still turned out great (for being whole wheat). Next time (and there will be a next time) I might try half regular and half whole wheat. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe!

[@sharonsmithcambridge176]

One of the best muffin recipes I have EVER found! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@chelseaa.2829]

Made this as soon as I saw the video drop. Made it as a cake for 33 at 375. It's the best cake! So moist and delicious!

[@codem0de]

I love how wholesome this was. I adore you two!

[@nabeel7479]

Idk why but this video brought me so much peace.. like idk it was just so wholesome 😭

[@deanmrogers]

Love the recipe, love the Sauci/Claire dynamic, love the slight amount of Saffitz family tea being spilled. 😂 Great episode!
