Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for tossing blueberries)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the 2 tablespoons 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. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the extra 1 tablespoon of sugar for a slight crunch.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Tossing blueberries in a little flour helps keep them suspended in the batter.
  • For frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before tossing in flour and adding to the batter.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
