The Ultimate Blueberry Muffin Recipe

Ingredients

• nonstick cooking spray
• 1.25 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 1 pint fresh blueberries - rinsed, drained and patted dry
• 2 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions

1. Place the rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the top of a muffin pan with nonstick spray, then insert paper liners into each cup.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 1/4 cups of sugar, butter, and salt until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cups of flour and baking powder. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the egg mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing only until just combined.
4. Gently crush about 1/4 of the blueberries and stir them into the batter. Toss the remaining whole blueberries with the 1/4 cup of flour, then gently fold them into the batter. Fill each muffin cup generously and sprinkle the tops with sugar.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are a beautiful golden brown and the tops spring back lightly when touched, approximately 30 minutes.
