Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 3 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 whole Large egg
  • 1 cup Milk (any kind)
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 3 cup Fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 4-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well with butter or non-stick spray.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

  3. 3

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  6. 6

    Divide the batter evenly among the 4 prepared muffin cups. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar for a crunchy, sweet crust.

  7. 7

    Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.

  8. 8

    Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Chef's Tips

  • 💡Do not overmix the batter! Overmixing develops gluten, leading to tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • 💡For best results, use fresh blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them first; gently fold them into the batter directly from the freezer.
  • 💡To prevent blueberries from sinking to the bottom, you can lightly toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter.
  • 💡Ensure your melted butter has cooled slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients to prevent cooking the egg.
  • 💡Muffins are best enjoyed the day they are baked, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
