Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If using blueberries, fold them gently into the batter at this stage.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
If desired, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of each muffin for a crispy and sweet topping.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
