Appliances and Special Utensils

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
  • Optional: Coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer or hand whisk to mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Prepare Blueberries: In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to coat them. This helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

  6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter using a rubber spatula.

  7. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added crunch.

  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  9. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. Serve: Enjoy your delicious homemade blueberry muffins warm or at room temperature. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!

These blueberry muffins are a delightful treat any time of the day. Enjoy the burst of fresh blueberries in every bite!
