Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 apple (peeled, cored, and diced small)
- 0.75 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Fold the diced apple pieces and fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush the berries.
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
