Tips for Perfect Muffins & Serving Suggestions

  • Don't Overmix: To achieve light and fluffy cornbread muffins, mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine!
  • Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: While fresh blueberries are fantastic, you can easily use frozen blueberries too. Just toss them in a little flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
  • Flavor Boost: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter – it brightens up the blueberries beautifully.

These blueberry cornbread muffins are wonderful on their own, but they're also fantastic served warm with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or alongside your favorite breakfast spread. They make an excellent grab-and-go option for busy mornings or a delightful addition to a brunch menu.
