Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tbsp flour)
- Coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the floured blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling them to the top for tall muffins.
- Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Tossing blueberries in flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Using both white and brown sugar adds depth of flavor and moisture.
- Start with a high oven temperature to create the classic domed muffin top.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
