Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• Optional: coarse sugar for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Add the Blueberries:
   • Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin:
   • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet, crunchy topping.
7. Bake the Muffins:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
