Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Optional: 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for sprinkling on top
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Fold in Blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill Muffin Cups
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. If using, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for a bakery-style finish.
7. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Expert Tips
- Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both work well, but if using frozen, do not thaw them first to prevent the batter from turning purple.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- High Oven Temperature: Starting with a hot oven helps create those tall, domed tops.
- Add a Streusel Topping: For extra texture, sprinkle a simple streusel topping made from flour, sugar, and butter before baking.

FAQ
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Frozen blueberries work just as well as fresh. Just toss them in a bit of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
How do I store these muffins?
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving.
Can I make these muffins without eggs?
Yes, you can substitute the egg with ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce or 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water).
