Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sinking during baking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents for perfect rise.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix - a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing leads to tough muffins.
- Gently fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter using a spatula. Be careful not to crush the berries or overmix the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. This is key for achieving those tall bakery-style domes. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-18 minutes more, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better texture. Don't overmix the batter - mix just until combined. Start baking at high temperature (425°F) for initial rise, then reduce to 375°F. Coat blueberries in flour to prevent sinking.
