Ingredients

For the Muffins:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour scooped and leveled
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp heaping salt
  • 7 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into 1-Tbsp pieces
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp turbinado sugar for topping

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for ensuring your muffins rise properly.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin - Line your muffin tin with parchment paper or muffin liners. This will prevent the muffins from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
  • Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugar - In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is key for a nice texture!
  • Step 5: Add Wet Ingredients - To the butter and sugar mixture, add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
  • Step 7: Fold in Blueberries - Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a rubber spatula. This will ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter without breaking apart.
  • Step 8: Fill Muffin Tin - Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows space for the muffins to rise.
  • Step 9: Add Topping - Sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top of each muffin for a crunchy finish.
  • Step 10: Bake - Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Step 11: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy your Easy Homemade Blueberry Muffins warm or at room temperature!
