Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

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; a few lumps are okay.

5. Prepare Blueberries

Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

6. Fill Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Bake

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Expert Tips

Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries give the best flavor and texture, but frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
High Altitude Adjustments: If you’re baking at high altitude, reduce the baking powder to 1 teaspoon and increase the flour by 2 tablespoons.
Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the batter from turning blue.

How do I make the muffins extra fluffy?

To make the muffins extra fluffy, ensure you do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. Also, make sure your baking powder is fresh.
