Vanilla Blueberry Muffins

by 183 Comments

Muffins are one of the greatest comfort foods and these beautiful Vanilla Blueberry Muffins are no exception. They are made with fresh blueberries and Rodelle vanilla paste. This is probably the best texture that I’ve achieve in a muffin so far!

Blueberry Muffins

These vanilla blueberry muffins are absolutely irresistible! I mean it… I made them yesterday and we only have 5 left…that good!

I think it’s the perfect combination of vanilla bean and blueberry flavors in these soft muffin that make them the best. Or may be it’s the texture (which is the best that I’ve achieved in a muffin so far ). Actually, it’s a combination of texture and flavor that makes these muffins perfect!

Make sure to add Rodelle Vanilla Paste that made these muffins a little more special. I’m sure that all of you who love to bake know that quality vanilla will make the recipe. I always use my Rodelle vanilla in baking and I am not giving it up.

If you want a quality result, you need to use quality ingredients. You might spend a little bit more on a good pure vanilla extract or good bourbon vanilla beans but it is so worth it!

Rodelle Vanilla Paste 2

Why did I use vanilla paste? First of all, because I always wanted to try it. I use vanilla extract and vanilla beans all the time but I haven’t use the paste. Second of all, vanilla paste is actually perfect if you like to use vanilla beans but you don’t use it all right away.

You know that if you don’t store your vanilla beans properly, they will dry out and loose the aroma. Vanilla paste is perfect for keeping the vanilla beans for a longer period of time.

    Lyuba, these are so GORGEOUS! The texture even looks mouth watering. I’m going to have this recipe be my go to muffin recipe. My mother-in-law brings me fresh blueberries every year from Washington. I’m going to have to check out that vanilla paste… very intriguing. Great giveaway, by the way. And, I would love to try making their Vanilla Bean Challah Bread Recipe.
    Have a wonderful day, my friend! (=

    Those look so good!
    I can’t wait to try this recipe.
    One question though. Do you use fresh blueberries or can you use frozen?

    Thanks for the chance to win!

      Hi Denise!
      I used fresh blueberries. Using frozen would probable effect the texture since they hold extra moisture in them. I would suggest using fresh.
      Thank you! Best of luck!

    I’ve got blueberries in the freezer, so I would try these blueberry vanilla muffins, although recipes on their website look delicious, and I loved that little video with the daddy and daughter.

    Can’t go wrong with a muffin. Since blueberries are my husband’s favorite, I’ll definitely be pinning this recipe. I will have to try the Rodelle vanilla. I love a good vanilla and have never used a paste. Thanks for sharing.

    I’ve been using Vanilla Bean Paste for ages! Can’t seem to keep it on hand. It is wonderful to use in candy making. Used a whole bottle with my Christmas baking. I would LOVE to win a new supply of RODELLE supplies!

    Now that is a hard decision to make. I really like a good vanilla taste. I might have to try my boiled custard with the vanilla paste. I have never used any of that. Those blueberry muffins sure are tempting to try.

    I cannot afford to go buy the vanilla paste, but I do have some good vanilla extract. Would I also use 2 tsp of vanilla extract for these muffins?

      You can definitely use vanilla extract and 2 tsp would be good. You can also get a vanilla bean and use one of those! Vanilla extract is just not as strong as the bean but it will still be delicious!
      Thank you 🙂

    Did you use plain or self-raising flour? I’m guessing the former with the addition of baking powder and soda…

    I have been unable to find Vanilla Paste here in Ireland but I suppose I could use Extract instead.what quantity should I use, if the Extract is ok?

      Hi Ally!
      It would definitely work. There will be a little difference in flavor and in texture because wheat flour is a bit more grainy and tastes a little different but I don’t think that it will be a bad change or noticeable too much. Go ahead and try it and let me know how it turns out!

    I live in a small town and do not have access to those specialty stores that carry vanilla paste. I do have vanilla extract, how much would I use of it in your vanilla blueberry muffins recipe?

      Oh my goodness, I just realized that I never answered you! I would recommend vanilla beans in addition to vanilla extract. You can use 1 vanilla bean (seeds from it) and 1 tsp vanilla extract. You can also order right from Rodelle site. I really do love vanilla paste and use it all the time 🙂

    These look like perfection! I just recently realized we have lost our all-time favourite blueberry muffins recipe while moving house two months ago; we have made it for the last 30+ years and adored the result every time, so we are sad. And, on the lookout for another recipe. I am trying yours first and hoping for the best!
    If I don’t have vanilla paste, would vanilla extract work? And if so, would I put the same amount as indicated for the paste in the recipe, or more or less?
    Thanks for your help and reply 🙂

      I really hope you like these muffins as well! You can use vanilla bean for extra vanilla flavor 🙂 Vanilla extract would work but vanilla paste is made with the beans. So add the bean if you have access to it.
      Let me know how you like the muffins!

        Thank you so much for replying! I didn’t have anything except vanilla extract so I just used that, 1:1. The muffins turned out delicious, aromatic, just so good. They tasted almost identical to the recipe we lost, and I think the only reason they taste ever so slightly different is bexaue I remembered th old recipe used oil, and your salad used butter. But they were delicious and we are making another batch today!!! I’ve even had my boyfriend ask if I can put bananas and choc chips in instead of blueberries but to use your recipe as the base!! 🙂 I’m not worried about folding in choc chips instead of blueberries, but would you have any recommendations as how best to add in banana? Much, much appreciated if you do, and if not, still so so thankful for your wonderful recipe that is going to be delicious for us for years to come. ♥️

          Wow my autocorrect took over a few times! My apologies. I meant “because I remembered our old recipe called for oil and yours calls for butter”.

            I’m so glad it turned out well!!
            To be honest, I don’t think you will have a problem doing bananas. You can squish 2 bananas with your hands and whisk them into the batter. I don’t think it will be too thin. If the batter looks much thinner than the blueberry one, you can add a little bit of flour (I’d start with 2 tbsp and check consistency), but I don’t think you’ll need it.
            Let me know how it turns out!! 🙂
