Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Ingredient

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter with the eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently Fold Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  5. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries to distribute them evenly without crushing, preserving those juicy bursts in every bite.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm straight away.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw frozen to prevent color bleeding).
  • Don’t overmix the batter to ensure a tender, fluffy texture.
  • Ensure eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
  • Coat blueberries lightly in flour before adding to prevent them from sinking.
  • Watch baking time to avoid overbaking and dryness; check around 18 minutes.
