Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries and chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Keep your blueberries from sinking by lightly coating them in a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a more even mix and better rising.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter - a few small lumps are perfectly okay and will help keep your muffins tender.
- For extra flavor, try toasting the walnuts briefly before chopping and adding them to the batter.
- Check your muffins a few minutes early - oven temperatures can vary, and you want to avoid overbaking.
- If you want a crispy top, sprinkle a little extra sugar on the muffins just before baking.
- Store muffins in an airtight container and enjoy within 2-3 days for maximum freshness.
