Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 5 tbsp melted butter, cooled
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 cup blueberries*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray it with nonstick spray, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Take the dry ingredients and add it to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be sure to not over-mix.
- In another bowl (or reuse the bowl that had the dry ingredients), toss frozen blueberries with 1/2 tablespoon of flour. Note: skip this step if using fresh blueberries. Fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, divide the blueberry muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
- Bake the muffins for 12-14 minutes.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
*if using frozen blueberries, toss frozen blueberries with 1/2 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking, then fold into the batter.
Storage & Freezing Instructions:
To store: Place muffins into an airtight container and keep them on the counter for up to 4 days.
To freeze: Place the cooled muffins on a wire rack and place them in the freezer to flash freeze for 1 hour. Once frozen, move them into a freezer bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To thaw: Pull the desired amount of muffins you’d like out of the freezer and allow them to defrost on the counter for an hour before eating. Alternatively, you can also place them in the fridge overnight to thaw. I find that I can place a frozen muffin into my kid's lunchbox and the muffin will be thawed in time for lunch!
