Ingredients for Awesome Blueberry Muffins

  • All Purpose Flour
  • White Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • Enough milk to reach 1 cup (120ml) total liquid with oil and egg
  • Fresh Blueberries
  • 1/4 cup (50g) cold unsalted butter
  • Ground Cinnamon

How to Make Awesome Blueberry Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and enough milk to reach the 1-cup mark (approximately 1/2 cup or 120ml).
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries.
  6. Fill each muffin cup almost to the top.
  7. Prepare the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (60g) granulated sugar, 1/3 cup (40g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (50g) cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces), and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffins.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
