Ingredients

For the Muffins:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup salted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (rinsed and dried)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin
    Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  • Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. This step is crucial to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
  • Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
    In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add in the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and sour cream. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
    Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Be careful not to over-mix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Step 6: Add Blueberries
    Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. This will ensure they are evenly distributed without breaking apart.
  • Step 7: Fill Muffin Tin
    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Sprinkle the light brown sugar on top of each muffin for an added touch of sweetness.
  • Step 8: Bake
    Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Step 9: Cool
    Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh blueberries as frozen ones can make the batter too wet.
  • Ensure your butter is cooled after melting to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed.
  • Feel free to substitute the granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a different flavor profile.
