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
Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine Batter
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Blueberries
Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, then fold gently into the batter.
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.
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.
