The Best Blueberry Muffins
These JUMBO blueberry muffins are moist, fluffy, and brimming with plump, juicy blueberries. Even better than the ones from your favorite bakery!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cup yogurt (I used peach-flavored)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. As the butter melts, it’ll start to foam, then turn a clear golden color. Continue to stir the butter, scraping up any browned specks from the bottom of the pan as it starts to brown. It should have a nutty aroma.
- Once browned and nutty, turn off the heat and pour the browned butter into a shallow bowl, allowing it to cool for at least 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until combined; set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk both sugars and the eggs together until thickened and combined, about 45 seconds. Whisk in the browned butter and oil. Add the yogurt, vanilla, and almond extract, and continue whisking until combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until almost combined. Genly fold in 1 1/2 cups of the blueberries. Batter should still be lumpy with a few spots of flour. Allow batter to rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Spray a jumbo muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray, or line with paper liners.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan, filling all the way to the top. Push the remaining 1/2 cup of blueberries into the tops of the muffins.
- Bake at 425ºF for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375ºF and continue to bake for another 24-27 minutes until muffin tops are golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
