Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra boost of blueberry flavor, you can toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used. Do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
For a bakery-style domed top, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the first 5 minutes of baking, then reduce it to 375°F (190°C) for the remainder of the time.
