Vanilla Bean Blueberry Muffins Recipe

how to make vanilla bean blueberry muffins recipe

Here’s another recipe that comes from Hurricane Harvey. Although we were quite lucky, and haven’t experienced nearly what Puerto Ricans, Floridians, and lots of our Houston neighbors have endured, the weeks during and after were very stressful!

Who knew stress cooking was a thing?! I could not stop cooking. I made some classic no-fridge-needed recipes likeΒ Cold Brew Coffee, Veggie Kabobs, and Red Velvet Rice Crispy Treats. Some of my favorite recipes were ones relied on pantry ingredients like milk, eggs, and flour. These ingredients are versatile and everyone has them around the house.

This is the perfect recipe that uses fresh fruit and has lots and lots of smooth vanilla flavor! These are special enough to make in place of cupcakes. Since they have less sugar than a normal cupcake, they are perfect for breakfast too.

The secret to these cupcakes is to use fresh blueberries that are on the way out. This recipe is actually a perfect use of blueberries once they are past their prime. Using frozen blueberries doesn’t give it the same flavor or texture.

They also include double vanilla – both vanilla bean and vanilla extract. The vanilla gives these Blueberry Muffins a dessert like quality with less sugar than some of the popular recipes. I used a homemade vanilla extract which definitely gave it an extra something. If you don’t have vanilla bean paste, you can always use fresh vanilla beans and just scrape a few pods!

So let’s get to baking these Vanilla Bean Blueberry Muffins!
