🫐 Sunday Sweetness: Blueberry Muffins Like Grandma Used to Make
Auntie Loren’s Tribute to Love, Legacy & a Muffin That Never Missed
There’s something about the smell of blueberry muffins on a Sunday that feels like home. And I’m not talkin’ about just any muffins — I’m talkin’ about Grandma’s muffins. The ones she made with no measuring cups, just intuition, gospel music humming in the background, and a heart full of love.
My granny had a thing for making blueberry muffins with Sunday dinner. Not for breakfast. Not for brunch. But right alongside the fried chicken, cabbage, and cornbread. It didn’t always make sense… but somehow, it always did.
Even now, years after her passing, my 16-year-old son still brings it up like clockwork.
“Remember how Grandma used to make those blueberry muffins with dinner on Sundays?”
Yes baby… I remember.
So today, I made some too.
✨ The Recipe:
Doubled and upgraded with a lil extra milk because your muffins deserve to be moist, not dusty.
Ingredients (Makes about 24 muffins):
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• ⅔ cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1¼ cups milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen — no need to thaw)
• 2 tablespoons flour (to toss blueberries in)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F and line or grease two muffin pans.
Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a big ol’ bowl.
Mix wet ingredients — oil, eggs, milk, vanilla — then stir into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Toss blueberries in a lil flour (this keeps them from all sinking to the bottom like your ex’s excuses).
Fold them in gently so they stay whole and juicy.
Fill muffin cups ¾ full and top with streusel if you’re feeling fancy.
Bake for 20–24 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes… or eat one straight out the pan like I did. #NoJudgment
Auntie Loren’s Notes:
These freeze beautifully, but don’t expect them to last that long.
Add a lemon glaze if you wanna show out at brunch.
Want them even more moist? Swap the milk for buttermilk or sour cream next time.
