Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes/Tips:
- If you prefer a burst of blueberries in every bite, toss the fresh blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top of each muffin before baking.
- Experiment with different types of berries or add nuts for additional flavor and texture.
- Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
