Certainly! Here’s a classic Blueberry Muffin recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (you can use frozen, but thaw them first and pat dry)
- Optional: Lemon zest (from 1 lemon) for added flavor
For the Streusel Topping (optional):
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. If using lemon zest, add it to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil or melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. Again, be careful not to overmix to avoid turning the batter purple.
- If you’re making the streusel topping, mix the sugar and flour in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- If using the streusel topping, sprinkle it evenly over the muffin batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy your delicious homemade blueberry muffins!
These muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a snack. You can also customize them by adding nuts, oats, or other fruits if you like. Enjoy!
