Enjoy our classic, bakery-style Blueberry Muffins. These muffins are tender, moist, and packed with sweet blueberries, offering a comforting taste of nostalgia just like we remember from our travels.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, being careful not to crush the berries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the tops of the unbaked muffins.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them. Toss them with one teaspoon of flour before adding them to the batter to help prevent sinking.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter for the vegetable oil.
  • You can add a simple streusel topping made of 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon cold butter cut in until crumbly.
