Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk, room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, not thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients
  4. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined - do not overmix! A few lumps are perfectly fine
  5. Carefully fold in the blueberries, being gentle to avoid crushing them and turning the batter purple
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired
  7. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) without opening the oven door. Continue baking for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

Room temperature ingredients are crucial for proper mixing and rising. Don't overmix the batter - mix until just combined. Use fresh blueberries for best flavor, but frozen berries work well too (don't thaw them first). The two-temperature baking method is the secret to tall muffin tops. Fill muffin cups nearly full to encourage upward rising.
