Gwyneth's Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Gwyneth's Blueberry Muffins are tender baked treats blending melted butter, eggs, and milk with a mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Folded into this batter are generous amounts of fresh blueberries, resulting in moist muffins with a tender crumb and bursts of fruit throughout. The muffins bake to a golden top and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter melted and cooled, unsalted
- 2 egg Gwyneth calls for organic, I used Omega-3 fortified, large
- ½ cup milk , I used non-fat
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt , (Gwyneth calls for fine, I used kosher)
- 2 ½ cups blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a 12 tin muffin tin with liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the butter, eggs and milk in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients then gently fold in blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick tests clean. Eat warm with more butter (my daughter’s favorite way) or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries well drained to prevent soggy muffins.
- Line muffin tin with paper liners or spray well with non-stick spray before filling.
- Bake muffins until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean to ensure doneness.
- Serve muffins warm with butter for enhanced flavor as suggested.
- Allow to cool to room temperature for easier handling and slicing.
