Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- â…“ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- â…“ cup milk (or more if needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder until well blended.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold together just until combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking the berries.
- 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 into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly in the tin before serving. Enjoy your fluffy, blueberry-packed muffins!
Notes
- To keep blueberries from sinking to the bottom, toss them in a little flour before folding into batter.
- Milk amount can be adjusted slightly if batter is too thick for easy spooning.
- Ensure not to overmix batter to maintain a light and tender crumb.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
