Blueberry Muffins

 Blueberry Muffins are a classic breakfast treat that's easy to make and bursting with fresh blueberries. These muffins are soft, fluffy, and perfect for a morning snack or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with nonstick spray.
  2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  3. Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar for a crunchy topping.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion: These Blueberry Muffins are a delightful treat that’s easy to whip up. The juicy blueberries and soft, tender crumb make them a perfect addition to your breakfast or snack routine.
