Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Notes
- For extra flavor, toss the blueberries in a teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
