Bakery-Style Blueberry Muffins
This recipe uses a higher initial baking temperature to help create that desirable domed top.
Ingredients
Instructions
1. Prep
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Line a 12-cup standard muffin pan with paper liners.
-
In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with tablespoon of flour. This helps prevent them from sinking.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the cups flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
-
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
4. Mix Batter
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
-
Gently mix with a spatula until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy, and there should be a few streaks of flour remaining. Do not overmix, as this will result in tough muffins.
-
Gently fold in the flour-coated blueberries.
5. Fill and Bake
-
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them almost to the top for that big bakery dome.
-
Sprinkle the tops of the batter generously with the coarse or turbinado sugar.
-
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes. This high heat creates a rapid rise.
-
Without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
-
Continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool and Enjoy
-
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (or enjoy them warm!).
