JUMBO BLUEBERRY MUFFINS (OR CRANBERRY)

Jumbo Blueberry Muffins (or Cranberry) image

These hearty muffins(dense like a poundcake and rise beautifully like a bakery muffin) are great for bake sales or to freeze for later. I mix them up in my Kitchen Aid in a few minutes (dump and mix all ingredients together, adding berries once it's mixed). I use blueberries or cranberries with sugar/sliced almonds on top.

Time 40m

Yield 6-12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 lb sweet unsalted butter, at room temp (1/2 cup)
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 extra large eggs
1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
3 cups fresh blueberries (NOT FROZEN)
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

First of all, divide up your berries into three different batches- set aside a 2/3 cup portion for mashing, then divide the remaining berries into two equal portions- one portion for folding into the batter, and the remainder for dropping on top.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease 6 jumbo muffins tins or 12 regular size muffin tins well.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, on high speed with an electric mixer, cream the butter about 2 minutes- until light and fluffy.
With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and mix well.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well.
Continue to beat until creamy and batter looks light yellow.
Mix in vanilla and mashed berries until well combined.
Lower speed of mixer to medium, beat in some of the flour mixture, then some of the milk, and then more flour etc- in three portions each.
Beat batter until airy and well combined, about 1 more minute.
Gently fold in one of the portions of whole berries.
Fill muffing tins almost all the way full.
Drop the remaining portion of whole berries individually atop the muffin batter.
Bake about 1o minutes, then REDUCE oven temp to 375 F and continue baking until golden brown and set in the center, about 15 minutes.
Serve hot.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
To ensure that the muffins are moist and tender, do not overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups almost to the top for jumbo muffins. This will give them a nice, tall shape.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the muffins.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
