This recipe for blueberry cornbread muffins is a variation of our Cornbread Muffins recipe. It is a great way to enjoy a delicious quick, and easy breakfast. The recipe combines fresh blueberries with a slightly sweet cornbread batter, making for a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The muffins are easy to make and can be enjoyed fresh from the oven or stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or butter (or line muffin cups with parchment muffin liners); set aside.
In a 2 cups liquid measuring cup, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and enough milk to fill it to the ¾ cup line. Stir and let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature; it will curdle slightly, thicken and be ready to use.
Combine the dry ingredients into a large bowl; toss in the blueberries to coat; this will keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, lemon zest, vanilla, milk mixture, melted butter, and oil. Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, being careful not to overmix the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup very full—Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool the Blueberry Cornbread Muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm with butter or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
