Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well blended and smooth.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredient mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Use a light hand to prevent crushing the berries.
- Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps create a more uniform batter and ensures even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter: Lumpy batter is your friend! Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins.
- Toss blueberries in a little flour before adding: This prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
- For extra height and fluffy texture, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking.
- Check muffins early: Every oven is different, so start checking at 15 minutes to prevent overbaking.
- For a bakery-style top, sprinkle a little sugar on the muffins just before baking for a crispy, caramelized finish.
