Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup milk (plus more if needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for coating the blueberries)
- Optional: 2 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the Batter:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Prepare the Blueberries:
- Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking. Gently fold them into the batter.
- Fill the Muffin Tins:
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with sour cream or yogurt.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to avoid streaking the batter.
