Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 0.5 cups of melted butter, 0.75 cups of whole milk, 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of orange zest, 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss 1.5 cups of fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to prevent them from sinking during baking. Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your freshly baked Blueberries and Orange Muffins!
