Ingredients
Instructions

- Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier muffins, avoid overmixing the batter; a few lumps are okay. You can substitute almond milk for regular milk for a nutty flavor, or use melted butter instead of vegetable oil for richness. Fresh or frozen blueberries work well, but if using frozen, do not thaw them to prevent excess moisture. Consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these muffins warm for the best flavor and texture. They pair beautifully with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey. A side of fresh fruit or a cup of coffee makes for a delightful breakfast or snack. For a fun twist, try serving them alongside Vanilla Creme Dessert for a sweet treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave for 20-30 seconds or place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fruit instead of blueberries?
Absolutely! You can substitute blueberries with raspberries, chopped strawberries, or even diced apples. Just ensure that the fruit is fresh and not overly juicy to maintain the muffin's texture.
What if I don't have baking powder?
If you don't have baking powder, you can make a substitute by combining 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar. Alternatively, you could use self-rising flour, which already contains baking powder and salt.
How can I make these muffins healthier?
To make these muffins healthier, consider replacing half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber. You can also reduce the sugar slightly or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Adding nuts or seeds can increase the nutritional value as well.
