I love a good muffin and when I have friends staying the weekend, I love to whip-up these super easy and super moist blueberry muffins to greet my guests with the scent of fresh baked muffins in the morning. Nothing gets people out of bed faster!
This recipe is inspired by Donna Hay and again comes from her book, At My Table, which I’ve recently rediscovered in my stacks of cookbooks. These muffins are literally bursting with blueberries and are so light and moist — which comes from the inclusion of sour cream.
This one-bowl recipe can be made even easier to prepare by combining all of the dry ingredients the night before, which makes for even faster prep the following morning. Donna Hay recommends serving these with a lemon butter, which I highly recommend! Yum, yum and yum!!!!!

Can’t wait to try these recipes…
I absolutely loved these and doubled the recipe and made large muffins. Easy to make, no fuss and quick.
My husband loved them and didn’t even notice the sour cream as he usually likes sweet things. I did throw in some extra frozen blueberries that I very lightly dusted with some Plain Flour.
Two things that make this a regular in my house it uses butter instead of vegetable oil, which is a huge plus. Health wise I can’t tolerate baking powder so to find beautiful muffins using SR Flour instead of plain was fabuloua.
So glad to hear!
