Easy Blueberry Cupcakes Recipe

September 25, 2020 Comments : 5

The weather is rapidly changing here in Maine which means I am super excited to start baking again. I don’t know about you but baking in the summer just gets too hot, especially in my non air conditioned home. One of my favorite things to bake with is blueberries which are harvested right here in our home State! We love living in Maine for so many reasons including the seasons, the people and the outdoor activities. So this past weekend, my little helper Avery and I, made this easy blueberry cupcakes recipe. 

This post is sponsored by Wyman’s of Maine and The Feedfeed; however all my opinions are my own. You can find my full disclosures HERE.

I love all things blueberry and I absolutely love blueberry cupcakes. It isn’t a cupcake that I find locally at many bakeries so creating my own recipe was incredibly easy. To top these cupcakes? Cream cheese frosting of course! So for this recipe I used frozen wild blueberries and added them to a simple vanilla cupcake recipe.

Not all blueberries are created equally

Wyman’s of Maine wild blueberries are my go to blueberries for all things baking, smoothies, cooking and just to eat plain! Wyman’s of Maine is well known for their wild blueberries which they have been harvesting for generations. Did you know that it takes about 2 years to grow one wild blueberry and that they only grow commercially in a tiny corner of the world to include DownEast Maine and the Canadian Maritimes? They also have up to 2 times the antioxidant activity as normal blueberries and buying frozen means that your blueberries will be fresher! By freezing freshly harvested wild blueberries within 24 hours, the ripeness and taste is preserved and are perfect for any of your blueberry needs!

It has been shown that people who eat more fruit are more likely to have increased brain, heart and gut health and there are many ways to add Wyman’s frozen fruit varieties to your diet including in this recipe! To see all of Wyman’s of Maine products and find your #MaineThing check them out HERE.

Now time for the cupcakes!!The most important thing to keep in mind with this cupcake recipe is that your cupcake will be a little denser then a normal cupcake from a mixing box.

Other points to keep in mind while making these blueberry cupcakes:

  • Spoon flour into measuring cup and level out using a knife, this will give you the right amount of flour
  • Keep the blueberries frozen, do not thaw before using in recipe
  • Make sure that when making your cream cheese frosting you bring the butter and cream cheese to room temperature. This makes getting a smooth consistency so much easier. 
  • If making bigger size cupcakes (will make 12), add an additional 7-10 minutes to bake time
  • You can always substitute a different type of oil or applesauce to the recipe in place of the vegetable oil, however, this may change the final taste of the cupcake.

    It’s funny that you mentioned seasons and Maine, whenever I think of Maine I just think of really foggy, damp coastal living. Glad to hear you have seasons. Anyways, blueberry cupcakes do sound tasty and yours look delicious

Chloe is definitely giving us a little bit of a ru Chloe is definitely giving us a little bit of a run for our money lately. Teething, leaps and learning new skills is making sleep pretty much non existent. Definitely walking around like a zombie lately. 

At least this cute plant stand is making me happy and adding some fun to my living space. Linked this one and others that you can get from @walmart for under $30 in my bio!
