Kitchen Supplies Needed to Make Blueberry Muffins

• stand mixer or hand mixer
• mixing bowls  (one medium and one small)
• cookie scoop
• spatula
• muffin tin
• muffin wrappers -optional
• cooling rack

Ingredients to Make Blueberry Muffins

For the Muffins

• ¾ cup of sugar
• ½ cup of softened butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup of milk
• 2 cups of blueberries, rinsed, drained and picked over

For The Topping

• 3 teaspoons sugar
• ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions to Make Blueberry Muffins

1. Begin by preheating the oven to 375° F.  Then grease a 12 cup muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
2. Next, toss the blueberries in a little bit of flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the tins and keep you from having a purple batter. Tip: make sure the blueberries are bone dry before you add the flour!
3. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until it’s light and airy. Tip: the longer you mix the butter and sugar, the lighter it will become. I usually cream mine for about 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Next, add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder, then slowly add it into the creamed mixture alternating with the milk. Flour mixture, milk, flour mixture, milk, flour mixture.
6. Next, crush ½ cup of the blueberries with a fork and stir them into the batter. Then using a spatula, carefully fold in the remaining 1 ½ cups of blueberries into the muffin batter.
7. Now fill each muffin tin with batter. Using a cookie scoop makes this much quicker and easier! If you want short top muffins, fill each tin about ¾ full. If you prefer muffins with high tops, fill the tins all the way.
8. For the topping: mix together 3 teaspoons of sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon, then sprinkle it on top of the batter.
9. Place the tins in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The exact baking time will vary depending on your oven. The blueberry muffins will be done once the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
10. Once finished, carefully remove the muffins tins from the oven. Then remove the muffins from the tins, and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
11. Now all that’s left is to serve and enjoy!

Store any leftover muffins in an uncovered container. This will prevent them from being too moist the next day.
