Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- Muffin Tin
- Paper liners or non-stick spray
- Toothpick
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries if using frozen, don’t thaw
- 1 tablespoon flour to coat the blueberries and prevent sinking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
- Mix the dry ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Prepare the wet ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
- Combine the mixtures – Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently mix until just combined. Don’t overmix, or the muffins may become dense.
- Prepare the blueberries – Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour (this helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom). Fold them gently into the batter.
- Fill the muffin cups – Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and enjoy – Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
