Oven-Baked Blueberry Breakfast Muffins

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature before baking.

2. Prepare the Muffin Pan: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.

3. Creaming the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes on medium speed).

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.

6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture for better batter consistency. Mix gently to combine—do not overmix to avoid tough muffins.

7. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter without crushing them.

8. Fill Muffin Cups: Using a spoon or a scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.

9. Baking: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

10. Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
