These Blueberry Upside Down Muffins with Butter Sauce are super scrumptious! Luscious blueberry sauce nestles on top of warm and fluffy muffin puffs, then it’s all drizzled with a sweet butter sauce.

I won’t turn down a muffin of any kind, but I love these upside-down blueberry muffins with their hot jammy blueberry goodness. They’re perfect for brunch and holiday menus. Or heck, just because you deserve a treat.

What Makes this Recipe Special

  • It’s a unique and slightly fancy twist on a classic blueberry muffin.
  • Can be turned into a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • The butter sauce is scrumptious dilly-umptious.

Ingredients

  • Blueberries – I prefer fresh blueberries, but you could use canned.
  • Bisquick – It’s a time-saving shortcut and who doesn’t love a great Bisquick recipe?

How to Make

Step 1: Grease 8 large muffin cups with solid vegetable shortening or professional baking grease. In small bowl, mix together ⅓ cup sugar and blueberries. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sugared blueberries into the bottom of each muffin cup.

Step 4: Meanwhile, make the butter sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat sugar and light cream to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and use a hand or stand mixer to beat in butter and vanilla.

Recipe Tips and Substitutions

  • Try it with a cranberry twist. Use 1 cup cranberry-orange relish in place of the blueberries and use just 1/4 cup sugar for the muffins. Prepare butter sauce the same way.
  • Try another fruit: blackberries, raspberries, acais, huckleberries, diced strawberries or diced peaches. (Note: I haven’t done this yet, but I want to.)
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream to turn it into a dessert.

Recipe FAQ

What are they called upside down muffins?

Because the fruit is baked on the bottom and the muffin on top. After baking, it’s flipped over so the bottom becomes the top.

How long will blueberry upside down muffins last?

These are best served the same day and warm.
