Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk (or more if needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder to combine evenly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil, large egg, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined—it’s important not to overmix to keep muffins tender.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly without breaking them.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before enjoying their fluffy texture and flavorful blueberry bursts.
Notes
- For extra moist muffins, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with cake flour.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used—do not thaw them before folding into the batter to avoid color bleed.
- Adjust the milk quantity slightly if the batter seems too thick; it should be spoonable but not runny.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to prevent dense muffins.
- You can sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking for a sweet crunchy crust.
