Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 0.25 cup Crystalized ginger, finely chopped

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 flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 5

Fold in the blueberries and chopped crystalized ginger gently to avoid crushing the berries.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
