One Bowl Blueberry Cupcakes Recipes

GRAMMY'S BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with milk, beating batter briefly after each addition.
• Crush 1/2 of the blueberries with a fork in a small bowl; mix into the batter. Gently fold remaining blueberries into the batter and fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full.
• Stir sugar and cinnamon for topping together in a small bowl; sprinkle over cupcakes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 30 minutes. Cool in the tin for 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners.
• Place blueberries into a pot and let simmer over medium heat until most of the water has evaporated from the fruit, stirring every few minutes, about 30 minutes total. Remove from heat and let cool, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender or food processor and puree.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Cream butter in the bowl of an electric stand mixer and add sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, until completely mixed. Scrape down the bowl. Mix in 6 tablespoons of blueberry puree, milk, and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed until incorporated. Scrape down the bowl and mix on low speed for 1 minute more.
• Fill the prepared cupcake tin evenly with batter using an ice cream scoop.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Beat butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer. Add powdered sugar and mix in 1/4 cup blueberry puree, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Frost cooled cupcakes.

BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, mix together sugar, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
• Add butter and mix on medium-low speed for three minutes. Because there is so little butter, you'll end up with a very fine crumb texture.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined.
• Slowly add milk and mix on low speed until just combined. The batter will be liquid. (Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong. It's supposed to be that way.)
• Gently fold in blueberries.
• Fill cupcake liners just over 1/2 full.
• Bake for 14 minutes and then test to see if they are done. They are done when a toothpick comes out without wet batter stuck to it. The cupcakes should appear white with specks of vanilla bean. They should not turn a golden brown. If they are not done, test again in two minutes. If they are still not done, test again in another two minutes.
• When the cupcakes are done, remove them immediately from the tins and leave them on a cooling rack (or just on your counter if you don't own a cooling rack) to cool.
• Heat blueberries in a small pot on medium-low heat, stirring periodically for about five minutes or until they soften and start to release their juice.
• Push the cooked blueberries through a fine sieve to get a smooth blueberry sauce.
• Beat butter on high speed with an electric mixer for about three minutes until light and airy.
• Mix in powdered sugar a little bit at a time.
• Add salt and continue to beat for another minute. If desired, add more powdered sugar to make the buttercream frosting stiffer.
• Remove half of the frosting and place in a separate bowl.
• Add 3 teaspoons of cooled blueberry sauce to the frosting still in the electric mixer bowl and mix until the frosting looks uniformly light purple.
• Place some of each kind of frosting into one piping bag. Use a spatula to spread vanilla frosting on one half of a piping bag fitted with a star tip and blueberry frosting on the other half of the bag.
• Pipe a frosting swirl onto cooled cupcakes.

ONE BOWL BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F and line 2 large muffin tins with cupcake paper liners.
• In a large bowl, add the melted butter, sugar, lemon zest, yogurt and eggs and whisk until smooth.
• Whisk in the baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined, then lightly fold in the flour and blueberries.
• Batter will be thick. Using a large icecream scoop, divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups.
• If you like a crunchy top, sprinkle each cupcake with 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar prior to baking.
• Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until tops are golden and a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on a rack.

LEMON-BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES WITH BLUEBERRY-LEMON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Combine frozen blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice for jam in a small pot over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has reduced and thickened, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve, pressing solids to extract as much jam as possible; you should have approximately 1/4 cup. Discard any solids and refrigerate jam until completely cool, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt for cupcakes together in a small bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until combined. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with buttermilk, beating batter just until combined after each addition; batter will be somewhat thick.
• Place frozen blueberries in a small bowl and toss with flour until coated. Add to the batter and fold to incorporate. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Check to see if a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, and continue to bake, if needed, for 4 to 8 more minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes more.
• While the cupcakes are cooling, remove blueberry jam from the refrigerator. Measure out 1/4 cup for the frosting and reserve any extra for another use.
• Beat butter for frosting in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt; beat until thoroughly combined. Add 1/4 cup blueberry jam and mix until combined. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. Add heavy cream and beat until frosting is smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Frost cooled cupcakes.

BLUEBERRY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Make the topping: Mix together granulated and brown sugars and cinnamon.
• Make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in upper third of oven. Line cups of a standard muffin tin with baking cups. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then beat in vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low, and beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with flour. Fold in blueberries.
• Divide batter among baking cups. Add topping, pressing to adhere to batter. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 20 to 21 minutes. Remove cupcakes from tin, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Make the icing: Beat together butter and cream cheese with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and gradually beat in vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Raise speed to medium-high, and beat 1 minute. Spoon jam on top of icing, and without stirring, spoon icing into a disposable pastry bag. Snip off a 3/4-inch opening in tip, and pipe swirled mounds of icing on top of each cupcake. Although best if eaten immediately, cupcakes can be refrigerated up to 6 hours and brought to room temperature 45 minutes before serving.
