Ingredients

1 egg
¾ cup white sugar
1 ½ cups blueberries frozen
¼ cup oil or butter
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180° C (350° F). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. Set aside.
Beat the white sugar and egg together in a large bowl.
Mix in the oil, milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
Toss the blueberries in 1/4 cup of flour.
Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Don’t overmix the batter. Otherwise, you’ll end up with dense muffins.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 18-21 minutes. The tops should spring back when you touch them, and they should be a light golden brown.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Either works for this recipe. Don't defrost the frozen berries - add them to the muffin batter.

Don’t overmix the batter: Mix until it is just combined - it's okay if there are a few lumps! Overmixing makes dense muffins.

Add cream cheese: To elevate these muffins, add a tablespoon of cream cheese in the middle. When baked, it will become gooey.

Top with butter: These muffins taste delicious when slightly warmed and topped with a generous spread of real butter!
