Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cups white sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cups unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup blueberries
extra coarse sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a standard size muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with oil or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a separate mixing bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. To keep the muffins soft and tender, do not over mix.
Fold in the blueberries using a spatula.
Divide batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling almost to the top. Generously sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar crystals.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool a few minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with a pat of butter.

Notes

Storing: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Store in the freezer in freezer-safe storage containers for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.

Variations:

Add lemon zest or orange zest for a fresh citrus twist.
Swap the vanilla extract with lemon extract.
Drizzle with streusel or a vanilla glaze.
Add in a cup of chocolate chips or white chocolate chips.

Tip 1: Don't over mix the batter. A few lumps are okay. Over mixing makes dense muffins.

Tip 3: To prevent the blueberries from sinking, toss them lightly in flour before folding into the batter.

Tip 3: Use room temperature ingredients for easy and even mixing.
