Follow this simple recipe to bake a batch of fluffy, moist blueberry muffins that will brighten your day.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries, optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with cooking spray.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Prepare Blueberries:
- If using fresh or frozen blueberries, toss them with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
6. Fold in Blueberries:
- Gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter until evenly distributed. Be careful not to crush the berries.
7. Fill Muffin Cups:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
8. Bake:
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Tips for Perfect Blueberry Muffins
- Fresh vs. Frozen Blueberries: Both fresh and frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. If using frozen, do not thaw before adding to the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Additions: Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest for extra flavor.
Enjoy these classic blueberry muffins as a delightful treat any time of day. Have them warm from the oven or at room temperature. Their fluffy texture and bursting blueberries will make them a favorite in your household. Perfect for breakfast on the go or a relaxing brunch with friends and family.
