Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 1/4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spray the pan and the liners with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beating on low speed to combine.
  • Add the berries to the batter and fold gently with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin (an ice-cream scoop with a wire scraper works well here); they will be very full.
  • Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly on top of the muffins.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden and a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin to free it from the pan if necessary (the blueberries can stick), then transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
