  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp coarse sugar, for topping

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 425°F and line a 12-cup tin with liners.

  2. 2

    Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.

  3. 3

    Whisk the melted butter and sugar, then beat in the eggs, milk, and vanilla.

  4. 4

    Fold the dry ingredients into the wet just until combined, then gently fold in the blueberries.

  5. 5

    Divide among the liners (they'll be full) and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

  6. 6

    Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 375°F and bake 15–18 minutes more, until golden.

  7. 7

    Cool 10 minutes before removing.

Zoe's Tips

  • Starting hot then lowering the heat gives those tall bakery domes.
  • Toss frozen berries in a little flour so they don't sink or bleed.
  • Don't overmix — lumpy batter makes tender muffins.
