Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until they are barely combined. A few lumps are acceptable; don’t overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If you’re using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them before incorporating them into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes:
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used in this meal. If using frozen, keep them frozen until the last moment to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.
- Feel free to customize your muffins by adding a streusel topping or a lemon zest glaze for extra flavor.
- Muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can even freeze them for longer periods of time.
- If you’re looking for a healthier version, you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and reduce the sugar content by using a sugar substitute.

Not a lover of muffins but I will give these a try and report back. I have only had shop bought. Home made could be a whole different story.
