Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Toss the fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to prevent them from sinking during baking.
  6. Gently fold the coated blueberries into the muffin batter, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results, but frozen can be used without thawing. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
