Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease 12 muffin cups.
- Beat the egg; stir in milk and oil.
- Mix in the remaining ingredients, just until flour and sugar are moistened; batter should be lumpy.
- Fill muffin cups two-thirds full with batter.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins are browned.
- Immediately remove muffins from pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, avoid overmixing the batter; it should remain lumpy. You can substitute half of the milk with yogurt for added moisture and tang. If you don’t have self-rising flour, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt. Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used interchangeably depending on availability.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these muffins warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a smear of cream cheese for extra richness. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. For a festive touch, enjoy them alongside Christmas Bonbons during the holiday season.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave for 15-20 seconds or toast in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of blueberries?
Yes, you can substitute blueberries with raspberries, chopped strawberries, or even diced apples. Just be mindful that different fruits may alter the moisture content slightly, so adjust baking time accordingly.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
You can easily make your own self-rising flour by combining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour with 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This will give your muffins the lift they need without compromising the recipe.
How can I make these muffins healthier?
To make these muffins healthier, consider reducing the sugar to 1/3 cup, using whole wheat flour instead of self-rising flour, and substituting the salad oil with applesauce or melted coconut oil for a healthier fat option.
