Bakery-Style Blueberry Muffins – These soft, tender muffins are packed with juicy blueberries and have those perfectly domed tops you’d find at your favorite bakery. With a simple baking technique, you can create these fluffy muffins at home in just 30 minutes. Ideal for breakfast or a sweet snack!
There’s something about a bakery-style muffin that feels extra special, right? It’s all about those high, domed tops that promise a fluffy, tender bite inside—and these blueberry muffins deliver on that promise.

I’ve always loved recreating bakery favorites at home, and these muffins might just be my proudest “rival-the-bakery” moment. They’re soft, packed with juicy blueberries, and come out of the oven with that perfect golden top.
If you’re a fan of classic Blueberry Muffins, these will be right up your alley. But if you’re craving a little extra zing, you should definitely check out the Blueberry Lemon Muffins for a citrus twist.
Do you know the secret to getting that bakery-quality rise? It’s a blast of high heat at the start of baking that gives them the lift they need before gently finishing at a lower temp. That technique turns out a muffin that’s not only beautiful but also so light and tender inside, you’ll be tempted to have one for breakfast, lunch, and, well, dessert.
These muffins also freeze like a dream, so you can always have a stash ready to go for busy mornings.
Why You’ll Love Bakery-Style Blueberry Muffins

How To Make Bakery Blueberry Muffins
- Prepare the muffin tin. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it, and preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine.
- Cream butter and sugar. In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Alternate wet and dry. Slowly add the flour mixture and Greek yogurt to the butter mixture, alternating between the two until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries. Gently fold the frozen blueberries into the thick batter, being careful not to overmix.
- Crumb Topping. Mix together the crumb topping and then sprinkle over the top of each muffin.
- Bake in two stages. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then lower the heat to 375°F and continue baking for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool and serve. Let the muffins cool slightly on a wire rack before enjoying or storing for later.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Use frozen blueberries. Frozen berries are great for this recipe, and they won’t bleed into the batter as much. Just fold them in gently to avoid streaks of purple.
- Don’t skip the high temperature start. Starting at 425°F helps the muffins get that perfect bakery-style dome. Lowering the temperature after the initial 5 minutes ensures they bake evenly.
- Alternate mixing the flour and yogurt. To keep the batter light and fluffy, alternate adding the dry ingredients and Greek yogurt, mixing just until combined.
- Room temperature ingredients are key. Make sure your butter, eggs, and yogurt are at room temperature for smoother blending and a more even rise.
- Coat the blueberries in flour. Tossing the blueberries in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter helps keep them evenly distributed and prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
- Use a cookie scoop for even portions. A cookie or ice cream scoop helps evenly portion the batter, so all your muffins bake up the same size.
- Make them your own. Add a streusel topping for extra crunch, or try mixing in lemon zest or cinnamon for added flavor.
Yes, you can use fresh blueberries, but frozen work just as well and help prevent the berries from bursting or bleeding into the batter.
Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. Just thaw and reheat to enjoy later.
Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream or buttermilk for a similar moist and tender texture
