Learn how to bake classic blueberry muffins that are incredibly moist, bursting with fresh berries, and have a perfect golden-brown top. This recipe is easy to follow and includes tips for the best rise.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra sweetness and a beautiful crunch, you can sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of the batter before baking.
  • If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter. You might need to add a minute or two to the baking time.
  • Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
  • Overmixing the batter can lead to tough muffins; mix until just combined.
