Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons raw sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled unsalted butter, large egg, whole milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of raw sugar on top of each muffin for added sweetness and a crunchy texture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and 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!
