Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for the muffin tops
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup oil, neutral-flavored
- 1 large egg
- 1/3-1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces blueberries, fresh or frozen
Directions
Step 1 –Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Step 2 –Line 10 standard-size muffin cups.
Step 3 –Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Step 4 –Add the oil to a measuring cup that holds at least 1 cup.
Step 5 –Add the egg.
Step 6 –Fill the measuring cup to the 1-cup line with milk.
Step 7 –Add the vanilla and whisk to combine.
Step 8 –Add the milk mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients then use a fork to combine. Do not overmix. The muffin batter will be quite thick and lumpy.
Step 9 –Fold in the blueberries.
Step 10 –Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups.
Step 11 –Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin.
Step 12 –Bake the muffins until the tops are no longer wet and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs instead of wet batter, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 13 –Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.
Step 14 –Serve when cool enough to eat!
