Ingredients

2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, add the melted butter, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract and sugar. Whisk together until combined.
4. Add blueberries and the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredient and combine with a wooden spoon or spatula. Do not to over-mix.
5. Fill each muffin mold up to 3/4 with a spoon. Cook in the 400F oven for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.
6. Allow 10 minutes of cool down before demolding.

Notes

Tip: Adding a small ramekin of water increases the humidity in the oven to keep the muffins nice and moist during the bake but this is optional.

TIP: No fresh blueberries? No problem. Use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them before using them. Add them frozen to the batter and increase the cooking time by about 5 minutes

Try this recipe with raspberries, blackberries or any other berry you have on hand! I have a large mulberry tree in my yard and I regularly make this recipe with the delicious mulberries that fill up my freezer every season.

Even better? Add a Streusel topping or a Simple Sugar Glaze to these muffins for just the right touch of extra spark!
