Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (for topping, optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for a crunchy finish, if desired.
7. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Expert Tips

• Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
• High Heat for Tall Domes: Baking at a higher temperature initially helps create those beautiful tall domes on top of the muffins.
• Customize with Streusel: For an extra special touch, add a streusel topping before baking. Check out our Bakery Style Streusel Blueberry Muffins for inspiration.

FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just make sure not to thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the color from bleeding.

How do I store these muffins?
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.

Can I make these muffins without buttermilk?
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
