Ingredients
- 240 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
- 60 g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) milk (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 250 g (1 1/2 cups) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prep Muffin Tin
First, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with a bit of butter.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients Separately
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Now, slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, or your muffins will be tough!
Fold in Blueberries, Fill Muffin Tin and Bake
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. Use a spoon to scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
After baking, take the muffins out and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
How to Serve Ultimate Moist & Flavourful Blueberry Muffins
These muffins are delicious warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them plain or with a bit of butter on top. They also pair wonderfully with tea or coffee!
Notes
- Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for a fluffier texture.
- If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them; just fold them in straight from the freezer to prevent color bleeding.
- You can sprinkle a bit of sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust!
