Ingredients
2/3cupwhite sugar
1largeegg
1/2cupvegetable oil
1/3cupmilk
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1 1/4cupsall-purpose flour
1teaspoonbaking powder
1/4teaspoonsalt
1/2cupsour cream (or yogurt)
1cupblueberries (fresh or frozen)
1tablespoonwhite sugar, for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla until well combined and slightly frothy.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir just until barely combined—be careful not to overmix, as this keeps the muffins light and fluffy.
Fold in the sour cream (or yogurt) until you have a smooth batter. Gently add the blueberries, saving a small handful to sprinkle on top if you like extra blueberry bursts.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle a little sugar over each muffin for a sweet, crackly top.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are domed and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm, or let cool completely for easier storage (if they last that long!).
Notes
For a sweet crunch, sprinkle sugar on top before baking. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
