Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries or cherries (pitted and halved)
• 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for tossing the fruit)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or a wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries or cherries with 1 tablespoon of flour to lightly coat them. This helps prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 6

Gently fold the blueberries or cherries into the muffin batter, being careful not to crush the fruit.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 8

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy! These muffins are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
