These are the ultimate blueberry muffins, featuring a tender, fluffy crumb and a signature crunchy sugar top. The recipe uses a simple, gentle mixing technique to avoid toughness and a clever high-then-low oven temperature for a perfect domed rise.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 3 tbsp coarse sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a small bowl, toss blueberries with 1 tbsp of the flour mixture. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then buttermilk and vanilla.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; batter will be lumpy.
  6. Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter.
  7. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling nearly to the top. Sprinkle coarse sugar generously over each.
  8. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) without opening the door. Bake for 15-17 more minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are good. For frozen blueberries, use them straight from the freezer and coat in flour to prevent sinking and streaking. No buttermilk? Add 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup milk and let sit 5 minutes.
