Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional )
¾ cups granulated sugar (150g)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
¼ cup vegetable or canola oil (60ml)
¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled (57g))
½ cup sour cream (room temperature (100g))
⅓ cup whole milk (room temperature (80ml))
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
1½ cups fresh blueberries (225g)
Turbinado or demerara sugar (for crunchy tops)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉/218℃ and prepare either a jumbo or standard muffin tin with liners. If not using liners, lightly grease each well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
  • Add the blueberries to another bowl and toss with about two tablespoons of the flour mixture and set aside.
  • In a third bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil, melted butter, sour cream, whole milk, and vanilla.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and use a rubber spatula to gently combine.
  • Once combined, fold in the blueberries. Then, fill each well or liner with batter mostly to the top and sprinkle liberally with the coarse sugar and a few extra blueberries.
  • Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425℉/218℃, then reduce the temperature to 400℉/204℃. Bake the jumbo muffins for an additional 16-20 minutes, and regular muffins for an additional 11-15 minutes. For either, a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs and no wet batter.
  • Remove the pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then remove each muffin from the well to continue cooling.
  • Enjoy warm with a swipe of salted butter!

THE BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



The Best Blueberry Muffins image

The problem with most blueberry muffins is there are never enough blueberries. But for the batter to support the weight and moisture of the berries, it needs to have an airier texture than most dump-and-stir muffin recipes. So, we creamed the butter for that extra lift and to prevent the blueberries from making the batter gummy. We also added buttermilk and sour cream for richness and tang and to help tenderize the crumb. Lemon zest adds brightness and sprinkling raw sugar before baking give a nice crunch to the muffin tops.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons raw sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of the flour and the baking powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour in a medium bowl until completely coated. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, vanilla and salt in a large measuring cup until smooth.
  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray the top of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and line with standard cupcake liners. (It's important to spray the top of the pan because the muffin tops will stick to the pan if you don't.)
  • Beat the butter, granulated sugar and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and yolks and continue beating until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the wet ingredients in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed (be careful not to overmix).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups with a heaping 1/3 cup per muffin. Top the batter with the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4 to 5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
  • Bake the muffins, rotating the pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins onto the wire rack to cool completely.
