Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup coarse sugar (for topping)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. 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. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the coarse sugar on top of each muffin for a crunchy, golden crust.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. 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.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results, but frozen can be used without thawing. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy. High oven temperature helps create a tall, domed top. Buttermilk can be substituted with milk and lemon juice or vinegar.
