Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. Prepare the Blueberries

Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

6. Fill the Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Expert Tips

• Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries give the best flavor and texture, but frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch. Just don’t thaw them before adding to the batter.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
• Add a Crumble Topping: For an extra special touch, sprinkle a crumble topping over the muffins before baking. Check out our Irresistibly Fluffy Blueberry Muffins with Crumble Topping for inspiration.
• Store Properly: Keep muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.

FAQ

How do I make my muffins extra fluffy?

Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Also, avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and airy.
