Homemade Blueberry Muffins
Description
This recipe starts by mixing dry ingredients including flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. The wet ingredients—vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla—are combined separately and then gently incorporated with the dry mix to avoid over-mixing which could toughen the muffins. Blueberries are folded in carefully to prevent breaking them up.
The batter is thick and divided into muffin cups, filling about half full. A sprinkle of sugar on top provides a slightly crisp, sweet coating when baked at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes, resulting in muffins with a light golden crust and tender interior. Using frozen or fresh blueberries offers flexibility depending on availability.
These muffins provide a balance of sweetness and blueberry flavor with a moist texture, suitable for a simple homemade treat or an accompaniment to tea or coffee.
