Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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

Equipment

  • 1 12 count muffin tin
  • muffin liners

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
To make blueberry muffins without a mixer:
  1. Start by whisking together flour, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl.
  2. 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).
  3. Stir all ingredients until combined and fold in blueberries.
  4. 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.*
