These tender one-bowl blueberry muffins feature a moist crumb with a crunchy turbinado sugar top, making them a perfect quick and easy treat for breakfast or snack time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk (180 ml), whole milk recommended
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (80 ml), neutral-flavored like canola or sunflower
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (150 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with liners or grease the cups well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until combined.
  3. Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir gently just until the batter comes together; do not overmix.
  4. Carefully fold in the blueberries, being gentle to avoid breaking them.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of turbinado sugar on top of each muffin.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  8. Remove muffins from the pan after 5 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender; use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to prevent bleeding and sinking; sprinkle turbinado sugar generously on top for the crunchy crust; watch baking time closely to avoid burnt bottoms; tent with foil if sugar browns too fast.
