LizzieLovesLife: Blueberry Muffins

These are my go-to Blueberry Muffins!! They are great to make on a Sunday afternoon, store them then have them for breakfast over those busy work week mornings!!! I like to also add a bit of cinnamon sugar on top to give the muffins a nice crunchy topping to give the muffin a great texture!! This recipe makes approximately 11 muffins.

Here's what you'll need (Ingredients):

1 3/4 cup flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup milk

1 egg

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh) (I used fresh blueberries in my recipe)

Topping- Equal parts sugar and cinnamon, to taste (optional) with 1/4 tsp unsalted butter

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°.

2. Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. (I used my stand mixer's bowl for this step.)

3.Mix milk, egg, oil, sugar and vanilla in a small-medium bowl with a wire wisk.

4. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until moistened.

5. Gently fold in Blueberries and let the batter sit for approximately 1 minute.

6. While the batter sits for a minute, it is time to make your topping. (Optional). I melted a tiny piece of unsalted butter in the microwave and poured it over equal parts sugar and cinnamon to taste, until it reached a consistency like the picture below.

(Step 6-Pictured Above)

7. Fill sprayed muffin pan with muffin mixture. I used an icecream scoop to make the muffins equal in size and easy to plop. (I was only able to make 11 muffins with this recipe so I added water to the last muffin insert in my pan). Sprinkle each muffin with cinnamon sugar mixture and place into the oven.
