Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt until combined.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Step 3: Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries until evenly distributed. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Step 4: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with no wet batter. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep all-purpose flour from drying out.
Can I substitute ingredients in Davis' Blueberry Muffins?
