Ingredients You Will Need
(Makes 12 muffins)
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins:
- 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp flour (for coating berries)
Optional Topping:
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Coat Blueberries
In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour. This prevents them from sinking.
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk, oil, and vanilla.
Step 5: Make the Batter
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in floured blueberries.
Step 6: Fill Muffin Cups
Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Pro Tips for Perfect Blueberry Muffins
- 🫐 Use Frozen Berries – No need to thaw; they hold shape better when baked.
- 🧈 Don’t Overmix – A few lumps in the batter keep muffins tender.
- 🔥 High Heat Start – For tall muffin tops, bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 375°F.
- 🍋 Add Lemon Zest – For a fresh twist, add 1 tsp lemon zest to the batter.
