Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon flour (for coating berries)
Coarse sparkling sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Use a spatula to fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries that have been tossed in 1 teaspoon of flour.
Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup to the brim.
Sprinkle the tops with coarse sparkling sugar if desired.
Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then lower the heat to 350°F and bake for another 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Tossing blueberries in a little flour before adding them to the batter helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom. Keep finished muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
