Easy Homemade Blueberry Muffins

These easy blueberry muffins are soft, fluffy and filled with juicy blueberries, with a simple batter that comes together without any complicated baking techniques. They're ready in around 30 minutes and work with either fresh or frozen blueberries, making them an easy recipe to keep on hand.

A warm batch of homemade muffins is also one of those little things that makes the kitchen feel welcoming. Serve them for breakfast, pack them into lunchboxes or put them on the table for everyone to grab when they wander through looking for a snack.

Ingredients for Blueberry Muffins

2 cups plain flour
¾ cup caster sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¾ cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups blueberries, fresh or frozen

Optional:

1 tablespoon raw sugar, for sprinkling
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven. Heat your oven to 200°C conventional or 180°C fan-forced. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
Combine the dry ingredients. Add the flour, caster sugar, baking powder and salt to a large bowl and stir until combined.
Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla.
Make the batter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
Add the blueberries. Gently fold the blueberries through the batter. Avoid overmixing.
Fill the muffin cases. Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cases. Sprinkle a little raw sugar over the tops if desired.
Bake until golden. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are risen and lightly golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Cool and serve. Leave the muffins in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Helpful Tips

Don't overmix the batter — a few small lumps are perfectly fine and help keep the muffins fluffy.
Frozen blueberries can go straight into the batter without thawing.
Fold the berries through gently to avoid crushing them and turning the entire batter purple.
Sprinkle a little raw sugar over the tops before baking for a lightly crisp finish.
