Preparation

Instructions

0/7

Prepare the oven and muffin tins
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or use paper liners.
Use silicone molds for easy release.
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Assemble the batter
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins fluffy.
A slightly lumpy batter yields better results.
Add the blueberries
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Fill the muffin tins
Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full to allow proper rising.
Bake
Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these muffins warm, with a dollop of whipped butter or a spoonful of crème fraîche for a pure moment of indulgence. They pair wonderfully with a robust coffee or a delicate tea. To vary the pleasures, consider adding lemon zest or chopped nuts. These muffins store well, but if any remain (which is rare!), feel free to freeze them to extend the enjoyment.
