???? Ingredients (Makes 12 Muffins)

Dry Ingredients:

• 250g all-purpose flour
• 150g granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

• 120g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 large eggs (about 100g)
• 180g whole milk (or buttermilk for extra tenderness)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, enhances blueberry flavor)

Add-ins:

• 200g fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed with 1 tbsp flour)
• 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

???? Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Preheat

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
2. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw. Toss blueberries in 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

1. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Bring It Together

1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon.
2. Be careful not to overmix—just stir until you no longer see streaks of flour (the batter should be lumpy).
3. Fold in the blueberries gently.

Step 5: Fill & Bake

1. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
2. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if desired for a crunchy top.
3. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy

1. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Serve warm, at room temperature, or slightly toasted with a pat of butter.

???? Tips & Tricks

• Don’t overmix: A few lumps are fine—overmixing leads to dense muffins.
• Use buttermilk: If you have it, buttermilk adds a tender crumb and slight tang.
• Frozen blueberries tip: Add them directly from the freezer to avoid purple streaks.
• Add a crumble topping: Mix butter, sugar, and flour for a bakery-style finish.
• Make it lemony: Add lemon zest to the batter for a citrusy twist.
