Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups yellow cornmeal
• 0.33 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 2 units large eggs
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 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 grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 6

Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter, ensuring an even distribution but without breaking them apart.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
