Ingredients
• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup (240ml) milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups (220g) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the leavening agent is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. This wet mixture will provide the moisture and sweetness that makes these muffins so irresistible.
- Gently Fold the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spatula to gently fold the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough, dense texture. Fold in the blueberries at the very end, taking care not to crush them.
- Portion and Bake: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the burst of blueberry goodness in every bite!
