Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Wet Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Additional:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- Coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if using.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in the blueberries.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired, and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, toss the blueberries with a teaspoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent sinking.
- Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
