Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ½ cup milk (120ml), room temperature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (56g), melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additions
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (150g)

Equipment

  • oven
  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • medium bowl
  • toothpick
  • wire rack

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until there are no lumps.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly, then whisk in the milk, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries; if using fresh, toss them with a tablespoon of flour first.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them fairly full for domed tops.
  2. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter for tender muffins. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
