Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Other
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs first, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Combine wet and dry: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them and turn the batter purple.
- Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before folding into the batter to prevent color bleeding.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
