Simple Cornbread Muffins

These simple blueberry corn muffins come together in no time for a delicious morning treat. Tender from sour cream and bursting with blueberries, this recipe can’t be beat!

Why This Recipe Works

  • Using fine cornmeal allows wet ingredients to be easily absorbed.
  • Using butter as well as oil gives these muffins both moisture and buttery goodness.
  • The addition of sour cream gives these muffins a moist, tender crumb.

I ate mine warm with some butter and they were fantastic!  The blueberries just exploded in my mouth, giving a burst of flavor and the muffins were, light and fluffy!

How to Make Blueberry Cornbread Muffins

  1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Add beaten eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and oil.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
  4. Fold in the blueberries
  5. Bake until golden.
  6. Serve & enjoy!

As I write this, I am fighting the urge to go and bake another batch!

Being the feeder I am, I gave some to the couple next door and every time they see me, they rave about those muffins.  The wife told me they were, ‘Simply divine’ and I have to agree.

    Baking these as I write this comment. AMAZING. I already baked one dozen and baking another. I did the 12 serving measurements. The only reason I think I have 2 dozen of these scrumptious muffins is because when fine cornmeal was called for I did the correct measurements but I used White Lily Buttermilk Cornmeal so i ended up with the 24. That’s ok, I can put one dozen in the Blessing box for others. to enjoy too

    Just made and bookmarked you !!! I wish I could attach a picture for you to see the muffins. I made a few adjustments, cornmeal is hard to cook with as it is dry,,, see below:

    – I didn’t have “fine” cornmeal my threw in my Ninja bullet and made it more fine !!!
    – added tsp of vanilla
    -added a smidge more oil so not dry (I’ve made CM muffins before and ALWAYS dry so when I read one of you fan comments it helped me avoid ie/ ground the CM and added bit more oil
    -Gosh I had a half container of sour cream in fridge so I thought this recipe was a perfect time to get rid of it —– BUT I OPENED IT AND I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE IN MY LIFE ——– THE ENTIRE CONTAINER WAS SO BLUE WITH MOLD I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS GOIN TO CRAWL OUT —- SO NOTE TO THE READERS ALWAYS USE A CLEAN SPOON WHEN SCOOPING SOUR CREAM — CROSS CONTAMINATION IS ALL THAT CAME TO MIND EVEN THO I FOLLOW THAT RULE, BUT SOMETHING GOT IN THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO I HAD TO RUN TO 7-11 TO BUY GRRRRRR
    -I used frozen mixed berries which was good to work with them being frozen (gotta work fast tho.. lol before they melt or the batter turns berry color )
    – tested the first batch and delicious !!!! not tooo sweet which I like but I pressed the tops in sugar when I took out of oven — wait for a few mins. to cool before you do so you don’t burn your fingers

    Thanks you Erren I will definitely use your recipe in future and can’t wait to see what else you have, I just haven’t had time i’ve been baking ! lol

    Cheers to you and thanks for sharing

    Excellent recipe, Erren! I modified it slightly since I am dairy free (I used an additional 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in lieu of butter, oat milk rather than dairy milk, and substituted creamed corn for the sour cream). Even with these substitutes, they are still delicious. Thanks for all the wonderful muffin recipes. 🙂

      Hi Brandy, So sorry for the late reply. I haven’t been well for some time and the app on my phone doesn’t allow me to reply to comments. I don’t like posts to go unanswered though so just wanted to say thanks for the comment. I haven’t used frozen, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t work. Let me know if you tried it.

    Hi Erren! I’m making a batch of these cornbread muffins now and it looks as though you forgot to mention at which point to add the 1 c. milk listed in the ingredients. I’m assuming that’s why Mallory’s muffins came out dry. Should it be mixed in with the other wet ingredients? They look scrumptious!

    I made these last night. They were very dry and didn’t have the sweetness of a muffin or even a piece of regular cornbread. Where I live, it is not uncommon to have to add a bit more liquid to our recipes, but i’m not sure that would have been enough as I found it didn’t have much flavor either. Next time, I’ll try adding more berries and decreasing the cornmeal, along with eyeballing for extra liquid. I’ll let you know. 🙂

      Actually, upon closer inspection of your beautiful pictures, it looks as though you have used an ultra-fine milled cornmeal to which I did not. This could explain a lot.

        Oh, good. I was getting worried. To be honest, I never had to bake anything with cornmeal before moving to the UK so had no idea there was any other kind than what I have. Good to know. Thank you! I will update my recipes!

    These were absolutely amazing!! I don’t bake cornbread too often, but had some cornmeal laying around. Since it contains fruit, I thought it must be suitable for breakfast right!? I mean…that’s my plan anyways 😛
