Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- â…“ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- â…“ cup milk (or more if needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk these together until evenly blended.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, large egg, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
- Blend wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together just until combined—be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Add blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them apart.
- Fill muffin cups: Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tin before removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your moist, flavorful blueberry muffins!
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins fluffy and tender.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to prevent the batter from turning blue.
- You can substitute milk with any dairy-free alternative for a vegan-friendly option, but note the egg will still be present.
- Storing muffins in an airtight container at room temperature will keep them fresh for up to 2 days.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top before baking.
