Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dry ingredients.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen ones work too, but don’t thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Baking tips for a perfect rise: Ensure your baking powder is fresh and don’t overmix the batter.
