Print Pin
Servings: 12 muffins

Equipment

  • 1 12 count muffin tin
  • muffin liners

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, salted see notes for alternative method
  • blueberries, fresh or frozen at least 1 cup, but can use more

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

To make blueberry muffins without a mixer:

  • Start by whisking together flour, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl.
  • Melt butter and add to dry ingredients. Add in milk and beaten egg. (If batter is too thick to stir, add little splashes of milk).
  • Stir all ingredients until combined and fold in blueberries.
  • Line 12 count muffin tin with muffin liners. Spoon in batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

Butter - You can replace melted butter with softened butter if you want to use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together. To do this:
Whisk flour and baking powder together in a bowl.
Beat sugar and softened butter for about 2 minutes. Add egg, continue to beat until incorprated well.
Alternate adding in flour mixture and milk until all combined.
Fold in blueberries. 
 
*If you only have unsalted butter, add in 1/2 teaspoon of salt.*
