🧁 Simple Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1½ cups all-purpose flour
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 large egg
-
½ cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tenderness)
-
⅓ cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
- Optional: coarse sugar for topping
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease lightly.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center, then add egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir gently until just combined — don’t overmix!
-
Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula to avoid breaking them.
-
Fill muffin cups: Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full. Sprinkle tops with coarse sugar if desired.
-
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
🍋 Flavor Variations
-
Lemon Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest for a bright twist.
-
Cinnamon Crumb Muffins: Top with a quick streusel of brown sugar, butter, and flour.
-
Healthy Swap: Use half whole-wheat flour and Greek yogurt instead of butter.
