Gathering the ingredients for these delectable muffins is a breeze! You likely already have many of them in your pantry. Here’s what you need to get started:

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions: Baking Your Perfect Muffins

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well. Proper preparation is key to preventing sticking!
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and milk until well combined.
  • Add the sugar and mix until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins. For more on this, see our guide on Simple Baking Tips and Tricks.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries. Avoid over-mixing to keep your blueberries from sinking!
  • Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check for doneness around the 18-minute mark.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from getting soggy.
  • Enjoy! Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for an extra special treat.
  • For extra flavor, add a streusel topping before baking. For streusel topping ideas, check out our Molasses Oat Bread Recipe – the streusel on that is amazing!
