Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup wild blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredient mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula, mixing just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Be careful not to overmix.
- Carefully fold in the wild blueberries, being gentle to avoid crushing the berries and turning the batter blue.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Optional: Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet, crispy top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until moistened. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Fresh or Frozen Berries: If you can’t find wild blueberries, feel free to use fresh or frozen regular blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them beforehand to prevent the batter from turning blue.
- Add a Crunch: For an extra touch of sweetness and texture, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top of the muffins before baking. This will create a delightful crispy crust!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a couple of minutes before the 18-minute mark. They’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Storage: Keep your muffins fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They can also be frozen for later enjoyment—just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes!
