Why These Muffins Work

No complicated steps. No fancy tools. Just real ingredients and a foolproof method that results in bakery-style muffins — golden tops, tender crumb, and juicy berries that stay suspended in the batter. This recipe is ideal for beginners and muffin lovers alike.

Ingredients (Makes 12 Muffins)

• 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour

• ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar

• ½ tsp salt

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil

• 1 large egg

• 1/3–½ cup (80–120 ml) milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tsp flour)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

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

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk the oil, egg, vanilla, and 1/3 cup of milk. Add more milk if the batter seems too thick.

4. Combine and Add Berries

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — don’t overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.

5. Fill and Bake

Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Pro Chef Tips

• Flour your blueberries to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.

• Use room-temperature ingredients for better mixing and rise.

• For extra texture, sprinkle coarse sugar or rolled oats on top before baking.
