Easy Blueberry Muffins (Printer-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Muffin Batter

01 - ½ cup butter
02 - 1 ¼ cup sugar
03 - 2 eggs
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 2 cups flour
06 - ½ teaspoon salt
07 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
08 - ½ cup milk

→ Blueberries

09 - 2 cups blueberries
10 - 3 teaspoons sugar (for topping)

# Let's Cook!:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, blend the butter, sugar, and eggs until well combined.
03 - Add the vanilla extract and blend well again.
04 - Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer, alternating with the milk, until a thick batter forms.
05 - Mash half of the blueberries and stir them into the batter. Gently fold in the remaining blueberries.
06 - Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners. Fill each muffin cup with batter.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
08 - Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool for 15 minutes before serving.

# Cook's Notes:

01 - For extra sweetness, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with sugar before baking.
02 - Use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
03 - Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
