Moist, fluffy, and packed with juicy blueberries
There’s nothing quite like a warm blueberry muffin straight from the oven. This recipe delivers the perfect bakery-style muffin: golden on top, tender inside, and bursting with berries in every bite.
🧁 Ingredients:
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
¾ cup sugar (or coconut sugar)
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp salt
-
½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
⅓ cup neutral oil (like canola or melted coconut oil)
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
-
1 tbsp flour (for tossing blueberries)
🥣 Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk together milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
-
Toss the blueberries with 1 tbsp flour (this keeps them from sinking), then gently fold them into the batter.
-
Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
-
Optional: Sprinkle tops with a bit of sugar for a crunchy topping.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
💡 Tips:
-
Frozen blueberries? Use them straight from the freezer — no need to thaw.
-
Make it bakery-style: Bake at 425°F for the first 5 minutes, then reduce to 350°F for the remaining time for a taller muffin top.
🌱 Vegan + Gluten-Free Option:
To make them vegan & GF:
-
Use 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
-
Replace eggs with 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water, let sit 5 min)
-
Use plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy)
-
Choose coconut or avocado oil
