Easy Blueberry Muffins
Description
Easy Blueberry Muffins feature a classic batter made by creaming butter and sugar until light, then incorporating eggs and vanilla for richness. The dry ingredients include flour, baking powder and soda, and salt, which are mixed with buttermilk to provide tenderness and slight tang. Fresh or frozen blueberries are gently folded in to add punctuations of juicy sweetness. Baking starts at a high temperature to achieve initial oven spring and finish at a lower heat to cook evenly without drying out. The result is a muffin with a delicate crumb and moist interior, accented by fruity spots where the blueberries are dense. Sprinkling additional blueberries on top adds visual appeal and extra bursts of blueberry flavor.
This recipe yields tender, sweet muffins ideal for morning meals or snacks. They pair well with coffee or tea and can be packed for lunches or picnics.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- ⅔ cup buttermilk (room temperature)
- 2 egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teapoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add in eggs one at a time, mixing completely between each addition. Then add the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add half of the buttermilk and half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Add the other half of the buttermilk and dry ingredients. Mix until just blended.
- Gently fold in blueberries. Spoon into prepared muffin tins filling each cup 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra blueberries on top of each muffin if desired.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425-degrees then reduce heat to 350 for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
