Yields

4 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Confectioners’ sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Do not overmix.

Gently fold in the blueberries.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes.

Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, before serving.

These muffins are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

Notes

Make sure to adjust the oven racks to ensure even baking, as these muffins will rise quite a bit.

To get the most out of your fresh or frozen blueberries, gently pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the batter to prevent excess moisture.

If you want a crispy, golden-brown muffin top, try baking the muffins for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

Freshly baked muffins will freeze beautifully, so don’t be afraid to wrap individual muffins tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag for a quick breakfast or snack.
