HOMEMADE Blueberry English Muffins! You’re going to love this easy to make breakfast recipe! Save money and start making your own English muffins instead of buying the store bought ones. These ones are much more delicious and healthy! I love having one of these muffins with a cup of tea!
I’m starting 2017 with a bang – homemade Blueberry English Muffins! These have been on my “must make list” for quite some time since every morning I start my day off with one. I decided I was sick of buying the store bought version (plus they’re sometimes hard to track down) so I wanted to start making my own.
Surprisingly these homemade English Muffins are easy to make and don’t require that much time waiting for the dough to rise. Once you’ve made your own batch of these I bet you’ll never buy them again! Hope you all enjoy… and Happy New Year!
Blueberry English Muffins recipe
There’s a few points I want to mention about these Blueberry English Muffins.
First, you want to make sure you are have a nice foamy yeast before you pour it into your flour bowl. Once the yeast reacts with the sugar and warm water you should have a bowl of foamy yeast in about 10 minutes.
Probably even more important, you want your dough to rise. This dough should take about 1 hour to double in size. I always like to cover my dough with plastic and place in a warm spot, such as near a sunny window, on top of a dryer if you’re running it or near a heater (hey it’s Winter, why not double up?). It’s always a great feeling when your dough starts like this….
And ends up like this. This means you’re going to have fluffy English Muffins.
Roll your dough out on a floured surface and use a biscuit cutter to cut out the English Muffins. Alternatively you could use a upside down glass if you don’t have a biscuit cutter.
Some people like to cook their English Muffins on top of a griddle and that’s totally ok if you want to, but I’m more of a girl who likes to bake, so I bake these at 375 degrees for 16 minutes (8 on each side). And out comes some delicious Blueberry English Muffins that I can’t wait to eat! (PS. Do you like how I recycle English Muffin boxes?!)
And don’t worry, each muffin is filled with nooks and crannies!
Eat immediately or use within a few days. Since this recipe makes 30 you can also freeze them!
Enjoy!

These sound delicious and easy to make. I want to save the recipe in Pinterest and share it on Facebook and Twitter but I don’t see these options!?
Can this recipe use Almond or coconut flour instead of all purpose flour?
Hey Robin, I’m sure you can, but almond and coconut flour are completely different than all purpose flour so it would take a lot of recipe tweaking. I’ll take this suggestion into consideration for a future recipe – thanks!
Absolutely fabulous… so tasty.. Never attempted english muffins from scratch til now and now it will be my weekly thing… easy recipe to follow… muffins are delicious.
