Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners in preparation for baking.
- In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Set this dry ingredient mixture aside for later use.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 lightly beaten eggs, ½ unsalted butter melted and cooled, ½ cup milk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Whisk these wet ingredients together until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using a beater or whisk, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Before folding blueberries into the batter for our sweet blueberry muffins, coat them with 1 teaspoon of flour. This simple step helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking, ensuring an even distribution of juicy goodness throughout every bite.
- Gently fold the coated blueberries into the muffin batter until evenly distributed. This ensures each muffin is packed with bursts of blueberry flavor.
- Fill muffin liners with batter to the top and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the muffins pass the toothpick test – a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Additionally, the tops should bounce back when lightly pressed, or the internal temperature should register between 190 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- After baking, allow the muffins to cool on a rack for several minutes before removing them from the pan. Enjoy them fresh from the oven or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
Pastry flour or all-purpose flour Note: You can choose your flour based on how you prefer your muffin. Do you want a light, fluffy, slightly flaky muffin? Choose pastry flour. Do you want a more sturdy, substantial texture? Choose all-purpose flour. Whichever you choose, please follow the flour measuring tip below to ensure you don't use too much flour.
Flour Measuring Tip: For precise measurements, don't scoop flour from the container. Instead, gently spoon flour into your measuring cup and level it with a knife. This simple method guarantees accurate amounts, resulting in consistent and tasty muffins every time.
Milk Selection Note: We've extensively experimented with different milk options in this recipe, such as cow's milk, almond milk, and coconut milk. Each choice produces delightful results, giving you the freedom to use your preferred or available milk without any compromise on flavor.
