Bake a batch of tender, moist blueberry muffins bursting with berries. This easy recipe yields bakery-style muffins perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for tossing blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
  6. Gently fold the floured blueberries into the muffin batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before tossing with flour and adding to the batter.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable for other berries or even chocolate chips.
