Kitchen Supplies Needed: 

• Stand mixer or hand mixer
• Mixing bowls
• Cookie scoop
• Small spatula
• Muffin tin
• Muffin wrappers -optional
• Cooling Rack

Ingredients Needed: 

These are the ingredients you’ll need. All the exact amounts are in the printable card at the bottom of this post.

• Sugar
• Softened butter
• Vanilla extract
• Eggs
• Flour
• Salt
• Baking powder
• Milk
• Blueberries, washed, drained and picked over
• Cinnamon

Instructions:

1. prepare the oven and the muffin pan

Begin by preheating the oven. Then grease a standard 12 cup muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.

2. prepare the blueberry muffin batter

Using either a hand mixer and medium bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Tip: to get the sugar and butter ” airy light” beat it for at least 5 to 8 minutes.

Next, add in the eggs, one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition. Then add the vanilla.

In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Then slowly add this dry mixture into the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk.

Next, crush 1/2 cup of the blueberries with a fork, and mix them into the batter. Don’t worry, they will not turn the batter blue!

For the remaining whole blueberries, make sure they are 100 percent completely dry, then toss them in a little bit of flour before gently folding them into the muffin batter with a spatula. The flour will keep them from sinking to the bottoms of the muffins.

3. add the batter to the tins

Now fill each muffin tin with batter. I’ve found that using a cookie scoop is the quickest and easiest way to do this. If you want a shorter muffin like mine, then fill each tin about 3/4 full. If you prefer muffins with a higher top, then fill the tins all the way.

4. prepare and add the toppings

In a small bowl, combine the three teaspoons of white sugar and the 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well, then sprinkle on top of the muffin batter.

5. bake the blueberry muffins

Baking times will vary depending on your oven, so make sure you turn on the oven light (do not open the oven door) to keep an eye on them. The muffins are done when the tops rise and a toothpick inserted in the middle of one comes out dry.

6.remove from oven

Carefully remove the muffins from the oven, then remove each muffin from the tin and let them cool for at least 30 minutes on a cooling rack.

7. serve and enjoy!

Once cool, serve the muffins with a nice, tall glass of cold milk. If they last long enough, you can store any extra muffins in an uncovered container until you’re ready to enjoy them again! Storing the muffins uncovered will prevent them from being too moist the next day.
