How to Prevent Blueberries From Sinking in Muffins

The key to baking with fresh fruit like these is to coat the outsides lightly with flour before folding into your batter. This is an easy step to take that will help the berries stay in the center and near the top because the outsides are no longer slippery causing them to fall all the way down.

Another alternative if you don’t have that would be powdered sugar. Either way your best bet is to lay them on a few paper towels to absorb the excess moisture after rinsing them off. Then toss in a bowl to coat and use a slotted spoon to lift out. Fold in gently to avoid breaking the outsides open.

You can also add some vegetables into the mix with our zucchini blueberry muffins one morning. Or add oat bran for fiber with these blueberry bran muffins.

How to save fresh blueberries

If you do have more than you can use up you can save them easily. I would only wash what you’re going to use. Refrigerate them to save longer and if you aren’t going to use them within a few days freeze them! That way kids can snack on them right out of the bag and when defrosted you can make all sorts of dishes out of them.

Defrosted they aren’t very pretty but work just as well for things that are baked or blended together with other ingredients like smoothies and such.
