Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature when you are ready to bake the muffins.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking the berries.
- Prepare muffin tin: Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin cups, then divide the batter evenly among the cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen blueberries can be used but may affect the texture slightly.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- You can substitute milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
- For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some sugar or streusel on the batter before baking.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
