Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if fresh is unavailable)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk until well combined.
- In another bowl, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.
- To the melted butter, add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of buttermilk. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, toss 2 cups of fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to coat them.
- Gently fold the floured blueberries into the muffin batter until evenly distributed.
- Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each muffin.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using fresh buttermilk instead of the milk and vinegar substitute.
- You can use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available; do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- For added texture, sprinkle some oats or nuts on top before baking.
