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 blueberries
- Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon zest for extra flavor
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Blueberries: Fold in the blueberries (and lemon zest, if using) until evenly distributed.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained first.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- High Heat for Dome Tops: Baking at a higher temperature initially helps create those beautiful domed tops.
- Add Streusel Topping: For a bakery-style touch, sprinkle a streusel topping (mix of flour, sugar, and butter) on top before baking.
