Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for tossing 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 with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish, then let it cool slightly.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 7

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely or to serve warm.
