Essential Kitchen Tools

Muffin Pan (12-cup): Essential for baking the muffins.
Muffin/Cupcake Liners: To prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
Two Mixing Bowls (one large, one medium): You’ll need one for the dry ingredients and a larger one for the wet ingredients.
Whisk: For combining the dry ingredients and for initially mixing the wet ingredients.
Spatula: A flexible spatula is perfect for gently folding in the blueberries and for scraping the batter from the bowl into the muffin cups.
Measuring Cups and Spoons: For accurately measuring both dry and liquid ingredients.
Fine Mesh Sieve or Strainer: The recipe calls for sifting the flour and baking powder together to avoid lumps.
Cooling Rack: To allow the muffins to cool properly after baking. This prevents them from getting soggy.

Helpful but Optional Tools

Ice Cream or Cookie Scoop: This makes portioning the batter into the muffin liners clean and even.
Pastry Brush: If you choose to brush the warm muffins with melted butter at the end, a pastry brush is the best tool.
Small Bowl: For melting the butter for the optional topping.

How to Make Blueberry Muffins

Step 1: Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat oil, egg, milk, and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Lumps are fine!

Step 4: Add Blueberries

Gently fold in blueberries. (Frozen berries may tint the batter, no big deal!)

Step 5: Bake

Fill muffin cups ⅔ full. Bake 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy!

Let cool 5 minutes. Or eat one immediately and pretend you didn’t burn your tongue.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Muffins

For extra flavor: Add lemon zest or cinnamon.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container for 3 days.
Make mini muffins: Bake for 12-15 minutes.

FAQs – Blueberry Muffin Edition

Are Blueberry Muffins Healthy?

These muffins have real fruit, so they’re better than a donut. For healthy blueberry muffins, swap half the flour for whole wheat and reduce sugar slightly.

Can You Freeze Blueberry Muffins?

Yes! Absolutely. Store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds.

Can Dogs Eat Blueberry Muffins?

Plain blueberries? Fine. But blueberry muffins often have sugar and butter, which aren’t great for pups. Stick to plain berries for Fido.
