Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them, to evenly distribute them in the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-fourths full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a slightly crunchy topping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until 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

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
