One Bowl Blueberry Muffins

One Bowl Blueberry Muffins - Soft, Juicy, and Quick to Make

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) neutral oil (canola, vegetable, or light olive oil)
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional but recommended)
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 225 g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1–2 tablespoons coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the pan and oven: Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly. A hotter oven helps create that nice muffin dome.
  • Whisk dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Add wet ingredients: To the same bowl, add the eggs, oil, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest. Whisk gently until the batter is mostly smooth. A few small lumps are fine.
  • Fold in blueberries: If using frozen berries, do not thaw. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of flour over the berries to help prevent sinking, then fold them into the batter with a spatula. Avoid overmixing.
  • Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups, filling each about 3/4 full. For a crunchy top, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then lower the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake another 12–15 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. They’re best slightly warm.
