Do not over fill the cups, fill only about two third of the cup. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 20 to 25 minutes. After the 25 mins use a toothpick as a tester and prick the centre of one of your muffins and see if it comes out clean. If it does, your blueberry muffin is ready to serve.
Take your muffin tray out and keep them on a shelf for a while. Let it cool for ten minutes and then take your muffins out of the tray. Serve them at breakfast or as an evening snack. Add on a sugar coat on top or have them with chocolate or whipped cream as per your taste.
