The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

    About 5 min

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    About 2 min

  3. 3

    In a separate medium bowl, combine the lightly beaten eggs, whole milk, and cooled melted butter.

    About 2 min

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients.

    About 1 min

  5. 5

    Gently fold the batter with a spatula just until it is combined; do not overmix.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and will result in a more tender muffin.

  6. 6

    Carefully fold in the blueberries.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first to prevent the batter from turning purple.

  7. 7

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

    About 3 min

  8. 8

    Bake for 20-22 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

    About 22 min

  9. 9

    Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

    About 5 min

    Cook’s note: This helps the muffins set and makes them easier to remove from the pan without breaking.

  10. 10

    Allow the muffins to cool on the wire rack before serving.

    About 10 min
