Perfect Blueberry Muffins

Report

Is there anything better than a perfect blueberry muffin? If I could only bake one thing for the rest of my life, it would be a moist, fluffy muffin loaded with bright juicy blueberries. It's a recipe worth perfecting.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F and line a muffin pan with paper liners. Note: for big bakery style muffins I like to use jumbo muffin liners in my standard pan.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the oil (or melted butter,) sugar, buttermilk, eggs, and extracts.
In a seperate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until well combined, but don't over mix.
Gently fold in the berries.
Fill muffin cups to the top and bake for about 30 minutes, or until risen, golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Enjoy the muffins warm from the oven, or remove them to a rack to cool.

Notes

If you have the time, let your muffin batter sit on the counter after mixing, for up to an hour. This results in higher rising muffins!
