Ingredients
For the Muffins:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk

Preparation Steps : How to Make Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
- Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
Step 5: Bake the Muffins
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Top each muffin with a few extra blueberries.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Serve
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro Tips
- For extra moisture, you can add sour cream or yogurt to the batter.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the muffins from turning blue.
