Perfect Blueberry Muffins
Is there anything better than a perfect blueberry muffin? If I could only bake one thing for the rest of my life, it would be a moist, fluffy muffin loaded with bright juicy blueberries. It's a recipe worth perfecting.
Servings: 12 large muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mild vegetable oil (you can substitute unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk (substitute regular milk, alternative milks, yogurt, or thinned down sour cream.)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract (substitute more vanilla if you prefer)
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups blueberries , I use heaping cups for extra juicy muffins.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a muffin pan with paper liners. Note: for big bakery style muffins I like to use jumbo muffin liners in my standard pan.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the oil (or melted butter,) sugar, buttermilk, eggs, and extracts.
- In a seperate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until well combined, but don't over mix.
- Gently fold in the berries.
- Fill muffin cups to the top and bake for about 30 minutes, or until risen, golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Enjoy the muffins warm from the oven, or remove them to a rack to cool.
Notes
If you have the time, let your muffin batter sit on the counter after mixing, for up to an hour. This results in higher rising muffins!
