These homemade blueberry muffins are soft, tender, and bursting with juicy blueberries—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or sharing with loved ones.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup granulated sugar (or half white/half brown for depth)

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

2 large eggs, room temperature

½ cup milk (whole milk preferred, but 2% or almond works)

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract (or 1¼ tsp vanilla + ¼ tsp almond extract)

1½ cups blueberries (fresh or frozen; if frozen, toss in 1 tsp flour first)

Optional: Turbinado sugar for topping

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

Combine: Gently stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.

Add Blueberries: Fold in blueberries with a spatula. If using frozen, coat lightly with flour first to prevent bleeding.

Fill & Top: Scoop batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each ¾ full. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a crunchy top (optional).

Bake: Bake 20–24 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool & Serve: Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Avoid overmixing for light, tender muffins.

Fill cups nearly to the top for high bakery-style domes.

Add lemon zest or cinnamon for flavor variations.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
