Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar, if desired, for a sweet, crunchy topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 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.
