Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, unthawed)
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for coating blueberries)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Toss blueberries with 2 tablespoons flour to prevent sinking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This creates the foundation for those beautiful domed tops.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and well-combined.
  4. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined - do not overmix! A few flour streaks are okay.
  5. Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter using a spatula. Be careful not to crush the berries or overmix the batter.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for the ultimate blueberry muffin experience.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing, don't overmix the batter, coat blueberries in flour to prevent sinking, fill muffin cups nearly full for bakery-style domes, and bake at high temperature for perfect crust.
