Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder ensure it's fresh
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda ensure it's fresh
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure vanilla preferred

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries washed and dried

Instructions

Prepare the Muffin Batter

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the muffins bake evenly and rise properly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents and prevents clumping.
  • In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. The buttermilk adds moisture and a slight tang, while the butter provides richness.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to break them. This will ensure that the blueberries are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Bake the Muffins

  • Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray. This prevents the muffins from sticking and makes for easy removal.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  • Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove.

Notes

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
