Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 6 jumbo muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.

  2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat.

  3. Mix in the sour cream, applesauce, and almond extract.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir this mixture into the creamed mixture until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Be careful not to overmix – the mixture will be lumpy.

  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.

  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared jumbo muffin cups.

  7. Sprinkle whiskey barrel smoked sugar over the top of each muffin.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 28 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed.

  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the cups for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. Note that this recipe makes 6 or 7 jumbo muffins, depending on how high you fill the muffin cups. If you are using a regular muffin tin, the baking time will be shorter.

Frequently asked questions

. Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?

Absolutely! Frozen blueberries work just as well in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw them and pat them dry before adding them to the batter. This will prevent the excess moisture from affecting the texture of the muffins.

. Can I substitute sour cream with yogurt?

Yes, you can use yogurt as a substitute for sour cream in this recipe. The tangy flavor and moisture from the yogurt will still yield delicious muffins. However, keep in mind that the taste and texture may vary slightly.

. Can I add other fruits instead of blueberries?

Definitely! While blueberries are the star of these muffins, you can experiment with other fruits too. Raspberries, strawberries, or even diced apples would all make delicious additions to the muffins.

. Can I freeze these muffins?

Absolutely! These muffins freeze well, so you can make a big batch and store them for later. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container before freezing. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a quick defrost.

. Can I add a streusel topping?

Yes, you can take these muffins to the next level by adding a streusel topping. Simply mix together some flour, sugar, and cold butter until crumbly, then sprinkle it over the muffin batter before baking. The streusel will add a delightful crunch and extra flavor to the muffins.

. Can I make mini muffins instead of jumbo ones?

Of course! If you prefer bite-sized treats, you can easily make mini muffins with this recipe. Just adjust the baking time accordingly, as mini muffins will bake faster than jumbo ones. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't overcook.

. Can I add a glaze on top of the muffins?

Absolutely! If you want to add a touch of sweetness, you can drizzle a simple glaze over the cooled muffins. Mix together powdered sugar and a little milk until you achieve a smooth and pourable consistency. Then, drizzle it over the muffins using a spoon or a piping bag.

. Can I substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative?

Yes, you can use a gluten-free flour blend as a substitute for all-purpose flour. Just make sure to choose a blend that is specifically designed for baking. Keep in mind that the texture of the muffins may be slightly different, but they will still be delicious.
