Ingredients
To make 12-14 delicious blueberry muffins, you will need the following ingredients (all measurements are in cups):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Next, take the butter and cut it into small cubes. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Then, pour this mixture into the flour and butter mixture and stir until combined. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. It is important not to overmix the batter, as this will make the muffins tough. Next, grease a muffin tin and fill each cup with the batter. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best Blueberry Muffins
Here are some tips for making the perfect blueberry muffins:

- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen, make sure to thaw them before adding to the batter.
- When stirring in the blueberries, be careful not to overmix the batter. This will make the muffins tough.
- Make sure the muffins are completely cooled before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
