Blueberry Muffins are one of those desserts and breakfast foods that creates real memories. The sweet smell of the batter baking and the golden-brown top that crunches with every bite. 

I found this recipe a few years ago and have used it ever since! These are the famous blueberry muffins from the Jordan Marsh department store that are loved throughout the world – and I just added a little twist. The original recipe has been shared by the New York Times and other large publications with ratings from thousands of people and a consistent 5 star rating.

Jesse and I have a guilty pleasure – and they are the ‘just add water’ blueberry muffins from Wal-Mart. When we were first married, we would buy packs and packs of those. They are so good even though they are ‘fake’ haha.

But now that I have children and am more aware of what I put in my body, I don’t like to purchase food with ingredients that I can’t pronounce because that means it isn’t ‘food’.

I decided it was time to start making some homemade muffins and searched high and low for the best recipe. You can tell how delicious these muffins are going to be as soon as you begin creating the batter.

This blueberry muffin recipe has more butter and sugar (meaning more tastiness) and fewer eggs than most muffin recipes. It also calls for some mashed up blueberries which creates a very moist muffin and allows them to last longer.

I am a huge fan of the ‘crunch’ that raw sugar brings and love a good crumb topping on any type of muffin. I added my favorite crumb recipe to the original and, if I do say so myself, it is now the perfect homemade blueberry muffin recipe.
