About 6 months ago, I gave myself a challenge. My new goal? Get better at baking. I’m constantly working on my cooking skills and decided it was high time to take my baking game to a new level.

I’ve had so much fun and I’ve had quite a few successes with my Easy Cinnamon Rolls, Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, and Buttermilk Pound Cake. With my confidence boosted, I knew it was time to take some of my older recipes that my family has always loved and give them a facelift.

The ultimate choice, Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins. My original recipe, published over 6 years ago is now redone and man oh, man, it’s a winner!

How To Make Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins

Whisk together the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, baking soda.
Spoon into muffins pan and bake.
Remove the muffins from the oven, let cool, and drizzle on lemon glaze.
Enjoy!

I love bakery-style muffins with tall round tops. Who doesn’t, right? In the past, I’ve not been successful at pulling that off but now, I’ve got the secret on how to make that happen.

Make sure you have a thick batter like the one in this recipe.
Fill the muffin cups up all the way. I line my muffin pan with paper liners to make removing the muffins after baking easier.
Bake the muffins at the first high heat setting for 5 minutes then reduce the temperature and continue baking until done.

Can You Freeze These Muffins?

Absolutely! Make the muffins according to the instructions and let them cool on a baking rack. At this point, you can leave them plain or put on the glaze. I like to wrap each muffin in plastic wrap then put them all in a freezer-safe container or ziptop bag. You can freeze for up to 3 months. When you want a muffin or 2, thaw in the fridge or on the counter and heat in the microwave.
