Super Fluffy Blueberry Muffins

 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour   ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar   2 tsp baking powder   ¼ tsp salt   ½ cup (120ml) milk   ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)

   1 large egg    1 tsp vanilla extract    1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberrie    2 tbsp turbinado sugar or coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray. 

Step 1 - Preheat Oven

  In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2 - Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. 

Step 3 - Mix Wet Ingredients

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. 

Step 4 - Combine

Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a tablespoon of flour before folding them in to prevent the batter from turning purple. 

Step 5 - Add Blueberries

 Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. For a crunchy top, sprinkle each muffin with turbinado sugar.

Step 6 - Spoon into Muffin Tin

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.  Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy! 

Step 7 - Bake, Cool and Serve
