Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
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 together the melted butter, milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Reserve about 2 tablespoons of blueberries for topping, and fold the remaining blueberries gently into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way full.
Top each muffin with a few of the reserved blueberries and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a crunchy, sweet topping (optional).
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the muffins are 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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your perfect blueberry muffins!
