Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit Ingredient:
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream granulated sugar with melted butter until smooth and well-integrated.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Pour milk and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients, stirring until the mixture becomes uniform and glossy.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined without overmixing.
- Toss blueberries with additional flour to prevent sinking, ensuring they are lightly coated.
- Carefully fold the flour-dusted blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Choose fresh or frozen blueberries depending on seasonal availability, ensuring they are plump and vibrant for maximum flavor and texture.
- Prevent blueberries from sinking by coating them lightly in flour, which creates a protective barrier and helps distribute them evenly throughout the muffin batter.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender, soft muffin crumb; mix just until ingredients are combined to prevent developing tough, dense texture.
- Experiment with alternative flour options like whole wheat or gluten-free blends for dietary modifications, keeping the same measurement proportions to maintain the recipe’s integrity.
