Ingredients
1¼cupssugar
½cupunsalted butter,softened
2eggs
1teaspoonvanilla extract
2cups + 1 tablespoonall-purpose flour,divided
2teaspoonsbaking powder
½teaspoonsalt
½cupmilk
2cupsblueberries,rinsed, drained and dried
⅛cupcoarse sprinkling sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare two 12-cup muffin tins by adding paper liners. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat sugar and butter with a hand mixer until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, blending in between additions. Mix in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to butter/sugar mixture a little bit at a time, alternating with the milk, using a wooden spoon and making sure not to overmix.
Using a fork, crush ½ cup of the blueberries and fold into the batter. Toss remaining blueberries in remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Fold these coated blueberries into the batter.
Divide batter among the wells of the prepared muffin tin. You wil not need to fill all the wells in the second tin: add a few tablespoons of water to each empty well to ensure even baking. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the tops and bake for about 20-24 minutes.
Remove from muffin tin and allow to cool at least 30 minutes.
Notes
Make ahead of time. Place in a large resealable plastic bag and store at room temperature for 3–4 days or in the refrigerator for 7 days. These muffins also freeze well. Place muffins in a single layer in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.Sinking Blueberries: Tossing the berries in flour before adding them to the mixture should keep them from sinking to the bottom. You can also try adding 1 tablespoon of plain batter to each muffin liner before folding the blueberries into the remaining batter. Finish filling in the muffin tins and bake.Optional Crumb Topping: Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a bowl. Mix with a fork and sprinkle over the muffins. Bake as directed above.TO MAKE BLUEBERRY BREAD: Pour batter into a parchment paper–lined 5-x-9-inch loaf pan and sprinkle with sugar. Tent with foil and bake for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
