Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit and Mix-ins:
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp turbinado sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease with cooking spray.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, creating a light and airy dry ingredient base.
- In a separate bowl, whisk granulated sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender muffin texture.
- Carefully incorporate fresh blueberries into the batter, using a delicate folding motion to distribute them evenly without crushing the berries.
- Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar generously over the top of each muffin, creating a sparkling, crunchy exterior.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Prevent tough muffins by mixing wet and dry ingredients minimally, using a light folding technique to keep the batter tender and airy.
- Toss blueberries in a light dusting of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking and ensure even distribution throughout the muffins.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, maintaining the same measuring proportions.
- Enhance flavor by adding lemon zest to the wet ingredients or swapping vanilla extract with almond extract for a subtle nutty undertone.
