Classic blueberry muffins

Blueberry muffins are a delightful breakfast treat or a satisfying snack. This classic recipe produces muffins that are moist, fluffy, and packed with blueberries. Using simple ingredients and easy steps, you can whip up a batch of these delicious muffins in no time.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 cup blueberries
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the tin.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set aside.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, olive oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Fold in Blueberries:
- Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula, taking care not to crush them.
6. Fill Muffin Tin:
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Cool:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Enjoy your classic blueberry muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps in achieving a smooth batter and even baking.

- To prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom, toss them in a bit of flour before folding them into the batter.

- Avoid overmixing the batter; mix just until all ingredients are combined to ensure the muffins remain light and fluffy.

- Using self-raising flour reduces the need for additional leavening agents, making your prep time quicker and easier.

With this classic blueberry muffin recipe, you can enjoy a bakery-quality treat straight from your own kitchen. The combination of fluffy texture and juicy blueberries makes these muffins irresistible. Follow the tips provided to ensure perfect results every time. Happy baking!
