Dessert for breakfast! Or breakfast for dessert! You can choose either with these gorgeous and delicious little Blueberry Cobbler Muffins.

This muffin is a normal blueberry muffin on the bottom with a blueberry cobbler top! It’s a simple way to add a twist on a more standard Blueberry Muffin Recipe. So let’s make it!

The Blueberries

First of all, the best blueberries for making muffins are ones that are very ripe. Maybe even a little too ripe. Just think of how you use brown bananas when you are making banana bread. You want your blueberries to be sweet, soft, and burst open spilling their juices as soon as they get some heat from the oven.

Using very ripe blueberries will change your muffin game for the better!

Muffin Batter is Always Lumpy

News flash: most batters shouldn’t be overmixed and muffins are one of them. You always want your muffin batter to be lumpy. You can just mix it with a wooden spoon. No need to put it in a mixer. In fact, in a lot of recipes overmixing will dry it out, change the consistency and make an inferior baked good.

You should never overmix cookie dough, muffins, or brownies.

Making the Cobbler Top

There are a million ways to make a cobbler topping – this is just one! That means that you can substitute your own favorite cobbler topping in this recipe. What I love about cobbler topping is how easy it is to make and how buttery and crunchy it is. It’s perfect for these muffins!

For my version I use: flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla. You could also add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Yum!

Using a Muffin Tin

For this recipe, I used free standing silicone muffin tins like these. But you could use a regular muffin pan that’s lined or unlined. If you use an unlined pan, just coat your pan with butter and flour.

I don’t know if this info is “basic” or helpful! I’m always surprised but what other bakers like me, ones that grew up baking with their mom, know and don’t know.

Add Layers of Ingredients

Once you have your blueberry muffin batter mixed and your cobbler topping mixed (in separate bowls) all you need to do is layer the ingredients into your muffin tins. Start with the muffin batter. Add your blueberries in the center. Last top the muffins with your cobbler topping!

It’s actually really fun!

How to Bake Blueberry Cobbler Muffins

These muffins bake like your standard blueberry muffins. To know they are ready, look for 2 different things. First, you want a crunchy and golden brown cobbler top. Second, you want to put a toothpick in the center and see it come out clean. It’s hard to do without popping a blueberry and not really knowing what’s happening underneath, so just use your best judgement!
