🫐 The 50 Yard Line Blueberry Muffins

A Lubbock Favorite from Our Sideline to Yours

Whether you’re planning a team breakfast, a Saturday tailgate, or just want a sweet bite before the big game—these mini blueberry muffins from The 50 Yard Line Restaurant in Lubbock, Texas, are legendary. Soft, buttery, and loaded with juicy berries, they’ve been passed around potlucks and post-game parties for years. And now? You’ve got the recipe.

 Ingredients:

• 1 stick of butter (softened)

• 1 tablespoon Crisco oil

• 1 egg, beaten

• ½ cup blueberries with juice

• ½ cup buttermilk

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon Butavan flavoring"

*If you’re not local to Lubbock, Butavan can be ordered online or substituted with ½ tsp vanilla + ½ tsp butter flavoring.

 Directions:

1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, oil, beaten egg, and buttermilk.

2. Combine Dry: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Add Flavor: Stir Butavan (or your substitute) into the wet mixture.

4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries and juice. If you have extra juice, just toss in a few extra berries for good measure!

5. Bake: Scoop into mini muffin tins sprayed with nonstick spray (like Pam). Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes until golden and fluffy.

Sideline Tip:

Make a double batch and freeze the extras! Warm a few in the microwave on busy mornings for a grab-and-go treat that tastes like home.
