What's better than a regular blueberry muffin? A jumbo blueberry muffin!
These Jumbo Blueberry Muffins are BIG, full of sweet blueberries, tangy lemon zest, and have domed tops that are also crunchy (thanks to the addition of turbinado sugar)!
Sometimes, you gotta go big. Jumbo, even.
Sometimes a regular sized muffin just will not do. Sometimes you want a big ass muffin like you'd get in a coffee shop. Know what I'm saying?
When that desire strikes, look no further than these Jumbo Blueberry Muffins.
Let's give the component parts time to shine!
You may have started to catch on, based on recent posts in the past, but I've taken to photographing some of the major ingredients in my recipes. These blueberries deserved a chance to shine on their own!
I did that here, in my post about Basil Infused Vodka, too.
Can I make this recipe into regular-sized muffins?
Okay, so you don't have to make 'em jumbo.
Of course, you can always make regular-sized muffins from this recipe. I've included baking instructions (as the times will vary) for both regular and jumbo muffin varieties.
Basically, what I'm saying is: you do you! There's no wrong way to muffin.
What equipment should I pick up to make this?
- If you want to go jumbo, it's well worth it to pick up a couple of these jumbo muffin pans. I picked them up some time back and really like them.
- This regular muffin pan is nice too.
They're both Wilton products, which I always trust to be high quality. Not an ad but... Wilton, get at me.
- I also have these spatulas in teal, and love them. They're basic, but get the job done.
- You can find turbinado sugar in most grocery stores, but in case you can't, you can find some here.

I made these last night and they came out just like the pictures. They look professional with the high top. Only thing that was a little "off" was using 1 tablespoon of butter, haha.

Hahah I know, using only 1 tablespoon of butter does feel pretty weird. But I'm SO glad that they came out looking profesh! Enjoy!

The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of butter, is that the correct amount? I’m not sure how well it will “cream” with the added sugars.
laurenpacek
Hi Kimberly. Yep, 1 tbs is the correct amount. Admittedly, it doesn't "cream" in exactly the same way as other recipes that use greater amounts of butter. But cream it together the best that you can!

Yeeeees to the giant muffins! You get so much more of the soft, cakey inside which is totally my favorite part. I will be back to try these once I have invested in a giant muffin tin 🙂
