Jam packed with berries these Blueberry Muffins are fluffy and delicious! They are topped with an orange pecan crumble for added oomph, texture and flavour. Such a great way to start your morning with a cup of tea or coffee!

Newfoundland Blueberries

These blueberry muffins with orange pecan crumble are not your average muffin, that’s for sure! They have local Newfoundland berries in ’em, which kinda makes them inherently wicked! I may be a little biased, but blueberries grown in Newfoundland are some of the best blueberries found anywhere! They are so sweet and concentrated in blueberry-ey flavour.

Around late summer/early fall, people typically go berry picking in Newfoundland. They are grown wild and you can fill buckets and buckets with these little gems. I recently got a bunch and couldn’t wait to bake with them. They are so much tinier than any mass-produced/grown ones you may find in the grocery store, but they make up for in their amazing flavour…like little candies! Of course, any blueberry would work great in this recipe, just pick up the best you can find!

Blueberry Muffins with Yogurt

The key to moist blueberry muffins? Yogurt! These muffins are super moist, particularly because of the yogurt in there…not to mention those juicy berries. Plus, the yogurt adds a little dose of protein. We go through so much Greek yogurt in our home. We eat the stuff as is and even in lieu of sour cream.

For these blueberry muffins, the pans are generously filled and they bake up beautifully with a nice little muffin top (the only muffin top that you want, am I right 😉 )?

These easy blueberry muffins are perfectly acceptable to eat in the morning with coffee or as a snack when that little 3 o’clock hunger bug strikes. They are moist and delicious all on their own, but adding the orange pecan crumble certainly kicks up the flavour a notch! Do you love to put butter on your muffins? While they are good and warm, I love to smear some butter on those babies. Hubby, on the other hand, enjoys his as is. How do you like yours?

Hope you enjoy these Blueberry Muffins as much as I do!
