Ingredients for Jumbo Blueberry Muffins Or Cranberry

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

How to Make Jumbo Blueberry Muffins Or Cranberry

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all wet ingredients: oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries or cranberries.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and sliced almonds. Sprinkle evenly over the tops of the muffins.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. 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

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.
