Blueberry Muffins
Description
Blueberry Muffins blend standard baking ingredients including vegetable oil, sugar, egg, vanilla, sour cream, and milk to form a moist and flavorful batter. Dry components such as all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt provide leavening and structure. Fresh blueberries are gently folded into the batter to preserve their shape and distribute fruity pockets throughout. Each muffin is topped with additional blueberries and a mixture of lemon zest and sugar to introduce a subtle citrus-sweet finish with slight crunch after baking.
Baked in a 350-degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes, the muffins develop a golden top that is tender inside, punctuated by juicy bursts from the blueberries. This recipe yields 12 muffins, each roughly filled two-thirds full in the muffin cups. The combination of sour cream and oil ensures a softer texture compared to butter-based recipes.
These muffins serve well warm or at room temperature and make a convenient option for a breakfast treat or a simple snack. The lemon sugar topping adds brightness, making them slightly different from standard blueberry muffins, providing a mild tangy contrast to the sweetness.
