Blueberry Muffins

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings: 12 Muffins
Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: International

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups  all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup  granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons  baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon  salt
  • 1 large  egg
  • ½ cup  milk
  • 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups  fresh or frozen blueberries

Method
 

  1. Start by whisking together the dry ingredients — flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt — in a large bowl.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the oil, egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula.
  3. Once the batter is just combined, gently fold in the blueberries. If you’re using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them first — just toss them straight in.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Divide the batter evenly among 12 cups, filling each about two-thirds full. 
  5. If you like a bakery-style finish, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar before baking.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix: Stir gently for light, tender muffins.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: Helps everything blend more smoothly.
  • Try a bakery-style trick: Bake at 400°F for the first 5 minutes, then lower to 375°F to get taller muffin tops.
  • Let them rest: Muffins firm up as they cool, so give them a few minutes before diving in.
  • Store correctly: Keep in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days or freeze for longer.
