Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins were a staple in New England when I was growing up. So was the Jordan Marsh department store…and going to the mall! This recipe will bring you back to those days!
I used to love going to the mall when I was little and stopping at the bakery outside the Jordan Marsh department store for blueberry muffins to bring home. They were always so delicious!
I wrote down this recipe years ago, after they closed down and the Jordan Marsh baker revealed his secret recipe…remember writing down recipes??!!
Best Jordan Marsh Blueberry Muffin Recipe (and it’s easy!)
Another reason I love this recipe is that it is super simple. You can whip together these blueberry muffins in a couple of minutes! I used some frozen Maine wild blueberries I had in my freezer that I wanted to use up…frozen or fresh berries will work in this recipe.

New on the blog! Bakery-Style Blueberry Loaf You Can Make at Home! This one is sure to be a hit! (Picky son approved too!)
Yummy! Gonna make these with Brookie!
They are delicious! Wondering if I make 6 jumbo muffins, how long I would need to bake?
Linda, I sent you an email but in case you didn’t see it: I’m not sure, I’ve never tried making them in the jumbos.
These muffins look so delicious! I can’t wait to try them!
I remember going to Jordan Marsh in Boston – remember the Christmas windows? But I never had Jordan Marsh Blueberry muffins. Was the bakery at the North Shore Mall? We lived in Medford and my mom had six kids, probably on a pretty tight budget. I am definitely going to try these Jennifer!
I actually worked downtown at Filene’s a million years ago!! The Xmas windows were such a big deal at both of the stores back then! There was a bakery in the downtown store, I never went to the North Shore mall growing up,I lived in Haverhill and we used to go to the Methuen Mall back in the day.
Every July I pick fresh blueberries and freeze some. I am going to try this recipe with my frozen treasures!!
Yes, it’s really good with frozen blueberries!!
Did you thaw blueberries?
Looks like not, thanks for the recipe!
No, just toss them in the flour frozen! If you are using fresh or thawed the muffins might cook a little quicker so keep your eye on them.
Could this same recipe be used for chocolate chips instead of blueberries?
Oh, I think so! Now I want a muffin!!
Just made these muffins. They are very good I will make them again 😃
Now I have muffins on the mind this morning Pam!! It’s my favorite recipe!!
These look so amazing! Thank you for sharing the recipe with us!
