Can I use frozen blueberries for this recipe?
You can definitely use frozen blueberries, just make sure to use them right out of the freezer to avoid having them bleed into your batter! Not that there is anything wrong with blue blueberry muffins. I actually find it kind of fun, but when you are going for the perfect blueberry muffin you want to show those beautiful fruits wrapped in a deliciously moist muffin!
Another tip to avoid having your batter turn purple would be to:
- Rinse the frozen blueberries until the water becomes practically clear.
- Dry the blueberries with a thick layer of paper towels
- Continue blotting with a paper towel for a while to make sure they are extra dry.
Just make sure to bake your muffins for a tad bit longer to make sure they’re baked thoroughly!

I love to hear it!!
Sarah
Could these be baked at a lower temperature? Like 350? Would that change the texture or anything?
Brenna Ann
made this with frozen raspberries, and added almond extract.. YUM! I might have overfilled some but this only made 11 for me. I had no papers so I used butter to grease my muffin tin then floured the cups before adding the batter. came out perfectly nicely!
