Ingredients

To make approximately 12 delicious blueberry muffins, you will need:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup buttermilk (or milk)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if necessary)
• Extra sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This combination will create a fluffy texture for your muffins.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are okay!

Step 5: Add Blueberries

Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid crushing them. If you’re using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw; just toss them in!

Step 6: Fill the Muffin Tin

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin for added sweetness and a crunchy texture.

Step 7: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.

Step 8: Cool and Enjoy

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Muffins

• Fresh vs. Frozen: While fresh blueberries yield the best results, frozen blueberries work well too—just don’t thaw them!
• Add Zest: For a zesty twist, add the zest of one lemon or orange to the batter.
• Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
