Ingredients

1½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cups granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for muffin tops
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp fine sea salt
⅓ cups neutral-flavored oil (safflower, avocado, or vegetable oil)
1 large egg
⅓ cups milk or non-dairy milk (use more as needed)
1½ tsp vanilla extract
8 oz fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

Prepare Oven and Muffin Cups:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Line muffin cups with paper liners (10 for standard, or 22 for mini).
Lightly grease or spray the tops of the muffin tin with oil to prevent sticking. Or use Baking Cups.

Make Batter:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a measuring jug, combine oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.
Fold in blueberries.

Bake Muffins:

Divide batter between muffin cups, filling to the tops for big muffins.
Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Pro Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of lemon zest to the batter. The bright citrus notes complement the sweetness of the blueberries beautifully and elevate the taste of these muffins to a whole new level.

Variation: Feeling adventurous? Swap out the blueberries for your favorite berries or a combination of different berries. Raspberries, blackberries, or even diced strawberries would all work wonderfully in this recipe. Get creative and customize these muffins to suit your taste preferences or whatever fresh berries are in season. The possibilities are endless!
