Better than the box Mini Blueberry Muffins. Cute and sweet mini muffins made from scratch with fresh blueberries, blueberry jam, and whole wheat flour. Add a small touch of vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger to really make each mini, bite-size muffin extra special. Serve these blueberry muffins either warm or at room temperature. No need for anything extra here, they’re perfect just as is. And so much better than those mini-bite muffins mom used to buy!

I cannot tell you how long I’ve wanted to create this recipe. Well, actually I can, these bite-size mini muffins have been a long time coming. I’ve wanted to recreate the Entenmann’s mini blueberry muffins for years. And I’ve attempted them quite a few times now, but they never leveled up.

It might be my memory playing tricks on me, but I remember those sweet mini muffins being so delicious. Extra sweet, extra moist, and made with a perfect amount of tiny mini blueberries.

Yes, I used to LOVE the two-bite muffins my mom would occasionally sneak into my lunch bag or buy as after-school snacks. She wasn’t big on buying us packaged sweets from the store. Occasionally she’d buy those Betty Crocker boxed muffins, the ones with the can of real blueberries. She knew that we liked making those ourselves. But, if we were lucky, every once in a while, a box of those Entenmann’s mini muffins would show up in the kitchen cabinet or my lunch box. We loved them.

The point is, I’ve wanted to share this recipe for years and I finally got them right.

FINALLY!

Here are details

Step 1: mix the wet ingredients

I use a mix of whole milk, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and eggs. Then, instead of processed sugar, I love to use maple syrup to sweeten these up. I love that it’s a healthier sweetening option. Plus, we enjoy the added flavor the maple brings to these yummy mini muffins.

Step 2: the dry ingredients.

Next comes the white whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger. Gently mix the dry right into the wet ingredients until just barely combined.

It’s best if you can still see some clumps of flour throughout your batter.

Step 3: now the berries

Dollop a few tablespoons of your favorite blueberry jam over the dough. Add in all the fresh blueberries and gently stir both into the batter. The idea is that you’re creating streaks of blueberry through the muffin batter. The key is to not over-mix.

It’s ok if you have some bigger clumps of berries. But if you over-mix, the muffins will come out too dense.

Step 4: scoop and bake

Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop the muffin batter out and into a mini muffin pan. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until they’ve rounded and the berries are bursting with bubbling juices.

They are going to smell delicious!

Great for back-to-school, snacking, mid-work-day snacks, and easy to pack up for end-of-summer pool days too! And of course, breakfast. Really you can enjoy these any time of day!

    1. Hi Lillian,
      Yes, that would work well for you. Let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope you love it! xT

  1. Hello,

    Just a word to the wise – maple syrup is not healthier than granulated “processed” sugar (everything is processed) and as you are in the business with a large following, you should definitely know the science behind it. Nutrition misinformation is running rampant now. Please change the wording so as to not encourage eating disorders like Orthorexia please.

  2. Hi Tieghan,

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. Just want to ask if I can freeze them and how long will they last in the freezer? Thanks

  3. Just made these for a second time! So tasty, toddler loves them. Recipe cuts in half just right to fill my 12 mini muffin pan. ❤️
