Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry muffins are a classic breakfast treat that can be enjoyed any time of day. These muffins are bursting with juicy blueberries and have a tender crumb. They're perfect for a quick breakfast, a midday snack, or a sweet treat after dinner.

When I was growing up, my mom would often make blueberry muffins on the weekends. I loved waking up to the smell of freshly baked muffins wafting through the house. We would enjoy them with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and spend the morning together as a family. Now, whenever I make blueberry muffins, it brings back fond memories of those weekend mornings.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions:

Blueberry muffins are best served warm and fresh out of the oven. They're perfect for breakfast or brunch, and pair well with a cup of coffee or tea. They also make a great midday snack or after-dinner treat. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
