Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil ($0.08)
- ½ cup granulated sugar ($0.18)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract ($0.01)
- 1 large egg ($0.15)
- 5 tablespoons milk ($0.06)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder ($0.05)
- 1 pinch salt ($0.01)
- ¾ cups all-purpose flour ($0.09)
- ½ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen ($1.96)
Instructions
- Prep pan. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- Mix base. In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Add egg. Whisk in the egg until fully incorporated.
- Add milk. Whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients. Whisk in the baking powder and salt, then add the flour and mix just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Fold blueberries. Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
- Fill. Divide the batter between muffin cups, filling each about two thirds full. Add a few extra blueberries on top if desired.
- Bake. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- Recipe Tips. Baking at a higher temperature helps create tall, domed muffins. Mix just until combined to avoid dense or gummy texture.
- Blueberries. Fresh or frozen both work. If using frozen, do not thaw before adding.
- Freezing. Freeze cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
- Storage. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. Best enjoyed fresh and warm.
