Blueberry Scuffins
What are Blueberry Scuffins you ask? They aren’t scones or muffins…they’re Scuffins. Enjoy a combination of both. Scones and muffins mix together to make a deliciously moist Scuffin. Paired perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea.
When I first made these I had the envision of making some sort of sweet biscuit. What I got instead was a mixture of a scone and a muffin. Sean had one bite and told me “these aren’t biscuits Cyndi”. That was a bummer because my vision was to make sweet biscuits.
He told me I had to post these to the blog ASAP because they were amazing! He said “The sweetness of the sugar and the tanginess of the blueberries were a perfect combination.” He went on to say that I needed to come up with a cute catchy name. I’m so not good with good catchy names. So….as usual, I made Sean come up with it.
That’s when he said, “They taste sort of like a scone with a firm crusty exterior, but soft and moist inside like a muffin. I think you need to call them Scuffins.” I then proceeded to look at him like he’s crazy. I said “What!? No, I can’t call these Scuffins.” He says, “Why not? It’s your food blog.”
He had a point! I went with his advice and I’m calling them Scuffins. No matter what these guys are called, they’re amazingly moist and delicious. Make sure to grab a cup of coffee and/or tea. Enjoy!

It’s SO funny that you just posted these, because I just heard about scuffins on the food network over the weekend! One of the chefs actually a sweet/savory scuffin and I thought it was brilliant. And now I’m seeing these gorgeous blueberry scuffins from you! These look perfect, Cyndi! I love the mashup of muffins and scones. Perfect for breakfast or dessert!
I love hybrid desserts and scones and muffins are like breakfast treat hybrid perfection! Love the blueberries 🙂
I’ve never had a scuffin but I bet I would love them! So glad you posted these Cyndi!

Let me start by saying, these are absolutely delicious! I was looking for a good blueberry muffin recipe, when this popped up.
My only other comment is I found the batter too dry to mix completely, per recipe. I added four more tablespoons of milk. I don’t know if this was due to type of yogurt used, or some other
issue, altitude?
Keep up the good work!
Hi Carol! Glad you made and liked these Scuffins! I’m glad that adding the milk made these less dry for you. Not sure why that happened but glad that everything worked out. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Same thing happened to me too!
My dough was too dry as well. I added some water until it was moist enough to be dropped by spoonfuls. I kept looking at the recipe to see what I had done wrong. I think there may an error somewhere in the amount of liquid ingredients.
I am so sorry your dough was dry. Next time try adding one tbsp of milk at a time to loosen a little. Hope you’ll give them a try again. They really are delicious! Thank you!
For years I could buy scuffins at a local coffee place. I don’t even drink coffee, but day after day I’d be back to grab a blackberry blueberry scuffin, or a savory cheddar bacon scuffin. The shop changed hands, but still offered scuffins, although they turned most of them into breakfast Sandwiches and I’d have to go when they first opened to grab one before they defiled it with cream cheese, smoked Gouda or caramelized onions. Finally, six month ago, the shop changed hands again, and my beloved scuffins were carried no more. Alas, every attempt I have made to re create them has met with failure. But Im not much of a baker, to be honest. I have seen other scuffin recipes, but most look to be more like biscuits made in a muffin tin, while the ones I knew were more like drop biscuits, with a moister muffin inside. I am eagerly trying your recipe and hope that it comes close to what I am looking for!
Hi Kristen! I’m so sorry your local coffee place stopped making the scuffins. I hate when that type of stuff happens. I hope these scuffins hit the spot and are what you’re looking for. Let me know if I can help in any way and what you think once you try them. Happy Baking!! 🙂
Like the other commenter I found batter was too thick to incorporate the dry ingredients easilyf. I didn’t add more milk afraid I’d ruin the batter, but think I may have mixed too much. Then I really found it hard to mix in berries evenly. In the oven now. WOW! These taste delicious just like you said scuffins.
Thanks for posting.
I’m so happy that you loved them. And yes it is a very thick batter but if you find it to thick to stir in the blueberries add in a tablespoon or two of milk. Just make sure not to over stir. But I’m glad that you liked them. I think I need to whip up a batch soon. 🙂
Made these today and they are awesome! This will be my blueberry go to recipe from now on. I added a half cup shredded coconut too. Great recipe.
Yay! So happy you made and liked these. My husband asks for these all the time with his morning coffee. 🙂 And I need to try the shredded coconut too. That sounds amazing!
Hi! Would like to try these. They look amazing. Can you use frozen blueberries and not greek yogurt (just regular yogurt?). Trying my hand at some baking. I do not bake to often.
Hi Cath, yes you can use frozen blueberries, but I do recommend fresh if possible. I’m not sure about the regular yogurt but I don’t think it would hurt to try it out. I think they would turn out delicious! Let me know if I can answer any more questions or help you out in any way. Thanks! 🙂
They came together nice and easy,and only added one tablespoon extra milk. I was surprised how soft and tasty they are, not really needing glaze. I sprinkled a few with raw sugar and they were crispy!!! Great recipe!! Kathy
made these yesterday w/fresh berries, tender but not crumbly like a muffin. excellent in every way. also like the option of frozen berries, nice treat in the dead of winter. will def make again. tfs!
Can you use sour cream instead of yogurt? I’m just not a fan of yogurt!
Hi Larry, I’m sorry I’m late replaying to this. I’m not sure as to I’ve only made it with yogurt. Have a great day!
I have made these many times, always delicious. This morning i decided to make half of a batch but i put a whole egg. They were biscuity! So I maybe adding an extra egg to the recipe more often! Just wanted to share my discovery.
These were delicious! Made them a few days ago and will be making them again! Like them so much better than our scones. Used frozen blueberries. Great recipe, thanks for sharing!
I’m a little lazy and wanted to know if I could add something to the muffin mixes I have to make scuffins???
Thanks
I used this as a base for pomegranate scuffing. I added extra citrus with orange juice and zest, squeezed of lime juice and lemon Greek yogurt and used a lime glaze. I used 3/4 of the stick of butter and it was perfect. This is the second recipe I have tried for scuffins to use up the pomegranates and they kicked the other recipes butt. Going to make them again today for a Thanksgiving breakfast snack.
I have failed multiple times making scones but I’ve made these scuffins multiple times and everyone loves them and they are so good. I even made them once with raspberries. Also very good!
Do you need full fat yogurt or is nonfat ok?
Made today – family loves them. What would be best way to store them? Can they be frozen?
Hi there, would these keep for a day or two? How would I store them?
