Description

Old-Fashioned Blueberry Muffins are a timeless and comforting treat featuring a moist, tender crumb infused with rich buttery flavor and bursts of juicy blueberries. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, these muffins blend simple wholesome ingredients to create a soft, airy texture with a golden crust that delights every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Ingredient

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to ensure easy removal of your delicious muffins later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution and a perfectly balanced rise.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy, then add the eggs one at a time. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and inviting.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — a few lumps keep your muffins tender.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in your fresh or frozen blueberries, distributing them evenly without crushing — this helps maintain beautiful blueberry pockets.
  6. Fill and Bake: Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow muffins to cool slightly in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Now the magic is ready to be savored!

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; thaw and drain frozen blueberries to prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture and smooth combination.
  • Optionally sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a crunchy, sparkling finish.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean with no wet batter.
