Classic Blueberry Muffins
These golden muffins feature a tender crumb, sweet blueberries, and a lightly crisp top that makes every bite irresistible.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp flour (for coating blueberries)
- Optional: coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and carefully fold them into the batter.
5. Fill & Bake
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool & Enjoy
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Why This Recipe Works
Coating the blueberries in flour helps prevent them from sinking, while gently mixing the batter creates a soft and tender muffin. The combination of butter and vanilla adds rich flavor, making these muffins moist, fluffy, and packed with juicy blueberries in every bite.
Tips for Perfect Blueberry Muffins
- Don't overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries without thawing frozen berries to prevent excess moisture.
- Fill muffin cups evenly for consistent baking.
- Add coarse sugar on top for a bakery-style finish with a subtle crunch.
