- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

3️⃣ Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Muffins
🔹 Don’t overmix – Overmixing makes muffins dense instead of fluffy.
🔹 Use buttermilk – It adds moisture and makes muffins soft.
🔹 Coat blueberries in flour – This prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
🔹 Use fresh or frozen blueberries – No need to thaw frozen ones, just add them directly!
🔹 For bakery-style muffins, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
How to Store & Freeze
📌 Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
📌 Refrigerator: Keep for up to 1 week in the fridge.
📌 Freezer: Freeze muffins for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave for 30 seconds.
