Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup lightly with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, dried lavender, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Take care not to overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Fold the flour-dusted blueberries gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed but not crushed.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 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 and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
