Dry Ingredients:
- 240 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
Wet Ingredients:
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
- 60 g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) milk, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-Ins:
- 250 g (1 1/2 cups) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prep Muffin Tin
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter.
Step 2: Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
- In another bowl, whisk vegetable oil, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Mix until just combined—avoid over-mixing to ensure soft muffins.
Step 4: Fold in Blueberries and Fill Muffin Tin
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Evenly scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If using frozen blueberries, baking time may increase slightly.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Butter and Oil: Using both gives the best of both worlds—moisture from the oil and flavor from the butter.
- Frozen Blueberries: Add directly to the batter without thawing to avoid discoloring.
- Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
