Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk
Add-Ins
  • cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for coating blueberries
Optional Topping
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Equipment

  • 1 12-Cup Muffin Pan Standard size
  • 12 Paper Muffin Liners Optional but recommended
  • 2 Mixing Bowls One for wet and one for dry ingredients
  • 1 Whisk For mixing
  • 1 Ice Cream Scoop For evenly filling muffin cups
  • 1 Cooling Rack For cooling after baking

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk until smooth.Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold them into the batter.Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if desired.Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries.
  • Don't overmix the batter.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for taller muffins.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months.
    Coating the blueberries in a little flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
