Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon Extra granulated sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.

Step 7

Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Sprinkle a little extra granulated sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet crunch after baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
