Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (for topping)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. 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. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top of each muffin for a crunchy, golden crust.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. 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.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better texture. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense muffins. Start with a high oven temperature to create tall, domed tops. Fresh blueberries are recommended for the best flavor.
