How to Make Barefoot Contessa S Blueberry Coffee Cake Muffins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup sour cream, and ½ cup milk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in 2 cups fresh blueberries using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full using an ice cream scoop for even baking (optional).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Lightly greasing the muffin tin helps with easy removal.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
