Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F (190°C), ensuring a consistent temperature for optimal baking.
- Sift together dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a uniform flour mixture with balanced flavors.
- Whisk eggs, sour cream, and vanilla in a separate vessel until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry components, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender crumb.
- Delicately incorporate fresh blueberries throughout the batter, distributing them evenly without crushing.
- Distribute batter into muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full to allow proper rising.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until muffin tops transform into a golden-brown, appetizing hue.
- Remove from oven and let muffins rest momentarily, allowing them to settle and develop a perfect texture before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and better texture.
- Toss blueberries in a little flour before adding to prevent sinking to the bottom of muffins.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend.
- Freeze extra muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 months for quick breakfast or snack later.
