Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar plus two tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 egg room temperature and beaten
- 3/4 cup skim or 1% milk plus one tablespoon
- 2 cups frozen thawed blueberries
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
Direction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with fun cupcake liners.
- Sift together 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar and salt in a mixing bowl, set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss together blueberries with 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons sugar. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, blend melted butter, milk and egg.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to the batter. Do not over mix. Stop when it is combined, but there are still small lumps.
- Fold in blueberries. The batter will marbleize or turn blue if using frozen blueberries. Don’t panic.
- If using the sugar topping, mix both sugars in a small bowl.
- Fill muffin tins 2/3 full. Sprinkle tops evenly with sugar mixture.
- Bake for 25 minutes for large muffins and 18 minutes for small muffins. Times may vary based on oven and how much you filled those cups (I know a few of you took some chances and filled them to the brim, didn’t you??). Muffin tops will spring back to the touch.
- Remove and allow to cool.
