Blueberry Muffins

By , About.com Guide

I love this foolproof recipe. The muffins are so tender and delicious; perfect for a special morning breakfast or brunch.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3-1/2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, unthawed if frozen
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt and stir to mix. Combine milk, oil and eggs in a medium bowl and beat with a wire whisk until blended. Make a well in dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients into the well all at once. Stir until just moistened. In a medium bowl, combine 4 Tbsp. sugar, blueberries, and pecans and toss to coat with sugar. Stir gently into batter just until blueberries and pecans are distributed.

Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until light golden brown and firm to the touch. Let cool on wire rack 3-4 minutes, then remove muffins from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Store tightly covered at room temperature. 24 muffins
