Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- For a twist, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus flavor.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding; this helps to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.
- You can also sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of the muffins before baking for a sweet, crunchy topping.
