BURSTING WITH FLAVOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

BURSTING WITH FLAVOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Ingredients:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 – 1/2 cup milk (adjust for consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Zest of one lemon (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If you’d like, fold in the lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
