How To Make Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups (270g) Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 to 3/8 teaspoon table salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup (50g) vegetable oil or 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 to 7/8 cup (149g to 174g) granulated sugar*
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup (113g) sour cream or yogurt, (full-fat will yield the most tender muffins)
- 1 1/2 cups (213g) blueberries, fresh or frozen coarse sparkling sugar, for garnish, optional
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners and lightly grease the liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the oil or butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream or yogurt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries. If using frozen berries, the batter will become stiffer.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
Bake for 18-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
And voila! What better treat to have while playing online bingo on National Blueberry Muffin day, are we right?!
