Foster’s Market is a gourmet food market and café located in Durham, North Carolina. It’s been around since 1990, and it’s the most fabulous gathering spot with great food. Sara Foster published a cookbook of her favorite recipes (The Foster’s Market Cookbook), and that’s where I first spotted this recipe for the Blueberriest Muffins.

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 24 large muffin cups with paper liners and spray the top part of the pan lightly with vegetable oil spray.
 
Sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a separate bowl until well combined.
 
Place 1 cup of the blueberries in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse several times until coarsely chopped. Stir the chopped berries into the egg mixture. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are moist and blended (do not over mix). Fold in the remaining whole blueberries.
 
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins with a large ice cream scoop. The batter should come to the top of the paper liner or pan.

Bake your blueberry muffins for 25 to 30 minutes (shorter if using regular-sized muffin tins), until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool for about 5 minutes before turning the muffins out of the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Ingredient notes:

  1. If using frozen blueberries, use them while they’re still frozen; it helps hold the shape of the muffin (otherwise, the batter will become too watery).  
  2. Substitute raspberries, blackberries or strawberries for some of the blueberries in the recipe to make this a mixed-berry muffin.
