Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)

• ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup milk (120 ml)

• ½ cup vegetable oil (120 ml)

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (180 g)

• 1 tablespoon flour (for coating blueberries)

Optional:

• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Combine Batter

   Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. Add Blueberries

   Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, then fold gently into the batter.

6. Fill & Bake

   Divide batter evenly into muffin cups. Sprinkle tops with coarse sugar if using. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden, and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool & Serve

   Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh blueberries for the best texture, but frozen work well (do not thaw)

• Don’t overmix — this keeps muffins light and fluffy

• Add lemon zest for a bright blueberry-lemon flavor

• Substitute half the oil with melted butter for a richer flavor

• Make mini muffins by reducing bake time to 10–12 minutes

Make-Ahead & Storage

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature or warm gently before serving.

FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes — use them straight from frozen and toss in flour to prevent bleeding.

Why are my muffins dense?

Overmixing the batter can make it dense. Mix just until combined.

How do I get bakery-style tops?

Fill muffin cups slightly higher and bake at 375°F for a good rise.

Can I make these healthier?

You can reduce sugar slightly or use whole wheat flour for part of the flour.
