Blueberry Muffins

Here is a simple recipe for homemade blueberry muffins – this is definitely one of my favorites. They can be made with fresh or frozen blueberries and I have made this recipe with both.  If using frozen berries make sure to rinse them thoroughly in order to avoid dying the entire batter blue (I didn’t rinse them enough and the muffins were a little more blue than I would I have liked). Simple and delicious!

Ingredients:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup whole milk (I have substituted skim here)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cups + 1 tablespoon sugar divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 – 2 ½ cups fresh blueberries (if blueberries are large you might want to use 2 cups)

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Line muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Whisk butter, eggs, and milk in a medium mixing bowl

3. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt

4. Stir wet ingredients into dry 

5. Once combined, gently fold in blueberries

6. Fill each muffin cup ^2/₃ full and sprinkle with remaining sugar

7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown

Yields 18 – 24 muffins.
