Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups orange juice
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 tablespoons orange zest
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, orange juice, melted butter, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your blueberry orange muffins!
