Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 2 units large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
- 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 lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or spoon. Be careful not to overmix – the batter should be just combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to mash them.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, ensuring each is about 3/4 full.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a crunchy, sweet topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5-10 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.
