So many people ask the question; does anyone have the famous Jordan Marsh blueberry muffin recipe? The answer is YES! This is the famous blueberry muffin recipe from Jordan Marsh. This recipe was made using the recipe from long time baker John Pupek. He made these delicious muffins for forty-five years! This is the best blueberry muffin recipe and so many people agree! This is not my recipe, but it is worth sharing. The only modification I made was to add a little extra fresh blueberries. The original Jordan Marsh blueberry muffin recipe calls for 2 cups of blueberries.

What type of muffin pan should I use to make these delicious Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins?
This recipe makes a dozen standard sized muffins or a half dozen muffins using a super sized Texas muffin pan! When using the Texas muffin pan add an additional 10 to 15 minutes to the cooking time.
What is a Texas muffin pan you ask? It’s a super-sized muffin pan on steroids! My recommendation; go big or go home!
What is the difference between bread flour and pastry flour and all purpose flour?
Somewhere along the way people have modified the recipe to use all purpose flour (AP flour) probably because that is what most people have in their pantry. I am sure it is still good but it’s not the correct recipe. Using the bread flour and the pastry flour does make a difference! Take the time to make them right; you won’t be sorry!
A little bit about the different types of flour. Bread flour has a lot of gluten because of it’s higher protein content and produces a chewier texture. Bread flour should not be used to substitute other flours. Pastry flour is lower in protein content and provides a more crumbly or flaky texture. The household go-to all purpose flour has a stable shelf life that is substituted a lot for other flours but you won’t achieve the same texture! So, now you can understand by combining the bread flour and the pastry flour in making these muffins will make a difference in the texture of the blueberry muffins.
