the best blueberry muffins 🫐
ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup milk (whole milk works best)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (frozen will make the muffins purple)
- optional: a sprinkle of coarse sugar for a sparkly top
1. preheat your oven to 400°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly
2. in a large bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt
3. in another bowl, beat 1 large egg lightly then mix in 1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4. pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix because that can make the muffins tough
5. lightly fold in 1 cup of blueberries
6. add the batter into the muffin cups (fill them almost to the top)
7. if you like a bit of extra sparkle, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of each muffin
8. bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
9. remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack
10. enjoy your muffins!
PS. this recipe can be used as a base for other types of muffins! i like to make apple cinnamon muffins with pie spice for a perfect fall taste (definitely worth a try) :)
