Common Mistakes
One common mistake when making blueberry muffins is to add the blueberries to the batter before stirring in the wet ingredients. This can cause the blueberries to bleed and turn the batter grey. Another mistake is to overmix the batter, which can result in tough muffins. Be sure to mix just until the ingredients are combined.
