Martha Stewart’s Blueberry Muffin recipe is a delicious bakery style muffin perfect for breakfast, lunch, snack, or even dessert.
These blueberry muffins are light, fluffy, and easy to make.
I took a few weeks off from my Martha Stewart Cooking challenge because I was visiting my family in Oregon. I am loving my year of Martha Stewart cooking challenge so I am glad to be back with a delicious blueberry muffin recipe.
This recipe is actually an old recipe that I am bringing back. I first shared Martha Stewart’s Blueberry Muffin Recipe way back in July of 2009.
Twelve years later I am still making the same blueberry muffin recipe. I have adapted it slightly over the years, including a gluten free version, but it is still the same basic recipe.
A few week’s ago I shared Martha Stewart’s Basic Muffin Recipe with mix-ins. That recipe is a great breakfast muffin recipe.
This Martha Stewart Blueberry Muffin Recipe though is more of a bakery style muffin. It is lighter and fluffier. It is a little sweeter and is more cake like.
Both recipes are great and have their place in your recipe box.
Martha Stewart served these with whipped cream, more like a cupcake or dessert, but we love them as is since it makes them more muffin like.
Ingredients
- all purpose flour or Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free blend
- baking powder
- salt
- butter
- granulated sugar
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- milk
- blueberries
FAQS
Yes, these work great gluten free. I have made these with Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flour 1 to 1 flour blend. Other blends may work, but I have not tested them.
Yes, this recipe works dairy free. The texture is slightly different, but it works fine. I like to use coconut milk beverage, but other milk alternatives will probably work too. When using a milk alternative I like to add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
Both will work in this muffin recipe and in most muffin recipes.

yummy! I’ll have to try these.
Great muffins, really yummy. I would like to have many like that.
I looked and didn’t find cake flour at the tiny little grocery store available here. Could I substitute all purpose or bread flour or should I wait until I can get my hands on some cake flour? Thanks for all the great recipes, by the way!
Marybeth, cake flour is going to give you a little better texture. It is made from a softer wheat. You can however use all purpose flour. But you use 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons of all purpose and make sure to sift the all purpose flour. I have done this in other recipes, not this one. I hope that helps.
