Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 whole eggs
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping (optional)

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 with non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using blueberries, fold them gently into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of each muffin for a crispy and sweet topping.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
