Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your muffins bake evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Muffin Tin

    Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

  3. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 6

    Fold in Mix-ins

    Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Baking

  1. 7

    Fill Muffin Cups

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  3. 9

    Cool

    Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
