Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
Add-ins
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the muffins.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt thoroughly to ensure even rising and flavor distribution.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps incorporate air for a tender crumb.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, then stir in the vanilla extract to add aroma and flavor.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them and turn the batter blue.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper liners, filling each cup about 3/4 full for optimal rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for best flavor; frozen can also be used but do not thaw to prevent bleeding into the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender and fluffy muffin texture.
- Papers liners prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Ensure the butter is properly softened to cream well with sugar for the best texture.
- Check muffins at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking.
