Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 240 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
Wet Ingredients
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
- 60 g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) milk (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Other
- 250 g (1 1/2 cups) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prep Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients Separately: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender and moist.
- Fold in Blueberries, Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking the berries. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to maintain their perfect texture.
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs and milk helps create a smoother batter and better rise.
- Frozen blueberries can be used but do not thaw them to prevent color bleeding into the batter.
- Do not over-mix the batter to avoid dense, tough muffins.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking to create a sweet crust.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
