Easy Blueberry Muffins Recipe With Cake Mix

1 box yellow, white or lemon cake mix
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (keep in mind, frozen blueberries tend to turn your batter purple)

Simply mix everything together except for the blueberries until well combined, and then gently fold the blueberries into the batter (I also like to set some of the blueberries aside to place on top). Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Ingredients

1 box yellow, white or lemon cake mix
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries *read notes below

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a muffin pan with baking cups (or generously grease).
In a large bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, flour, baking powder, eggs, milk and oil until well combined.
Gently fold in your blueberries, setting some aside to sprinkle on top.
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin pan, filling the cups up close to the top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Recipe Notes

I generally prefer using fresh blueberries for muffins because the frozen blueberries tend to turn the batter purple and are more likely to sink to the bottom, but frozen berries work too if that's what you have on hand.
One tip that I've read for keeping your fresh blueberries from sinking is to toss and coat them with a tablespoon of the recipes dry ingredients before adding them to the batter. I usually just set aside quite a bit of blueberries to place on top of the muffins right before baking.
