Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before incorporating them into the batter.
  • Grate the orange zest finely to release the maximum flavor. If you don't have a zester, use a microplane grater.
  • Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help prevent lumps in the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in dry muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
