Fresh Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk, stirring until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them. The batter will turn a lovely shade of blue as the blueberries mix in.
6. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If you’d like, you can sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin for a crunchy finish.
7. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve these Fresh Blueberry Muffins warm or at room temperature, alongside a steaming cup of coffee or tea. They are delicious on their own, but a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream can add an extra touch of indulgence.
Enjoy these Fresh Blueberry Muffins as a special treat for yourself or share them with family and friends. They are perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch, a picnic in the park, or as a thoughtful gift for a neighbor. The burst of juicy blueberries in every bite will surely put a smile on your face. Indulge in the simple pleasure of homemade muffins and savor the comfort of a cozy kitchen filled with the aroma of freshly baked goods. Happy baking!
