Hi guys, I'm Laura Vitale.
On this episode of Laura in the Kitchen, I want to share with you an updated out of this
world delicious, blueberry muffin recipe that is going to be your go-to.
It is really easy, but I'm telling that once you make these, you will never make another
kind of blueberry muffin again, and since blueberries are just at their peak right now,
especially - I feel really lucky because we live in an area where they've got blueberries
growing abundantly and they are absolute perfection.
Let me run you through the list of ingredients because it's really short and sweet but they're
all the right ones.
You'll need all purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, lots of fresh blueberries,
you need some buttermilk, I'll talk about this in just a minute, couple of eggs, and
in here, I've got some cold unsalted butter, a little bit of flour, a little bit of sugar,
a little bit of cinnamon.
Vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and you'll need vanilla extract.
And that is it.
I've got my oven preheated to 400F, a muffin pan ready and lined, so if you follow me on
Instagram, you would have seen me and Mia, my daughter, make these a lot lately because
we just love them, the whole family does, and they are just wonderful, especially for
a weekend treat.
For he buttermilk, you can go out and buy regular buttermilk, I don't tend to really
do that anymore because it just goes to waste.
So I just take whole milk, ad about a teaspoon or so of either vinegar or lemon juice, and
let that sit for a while, and it starts to curdle for a bit and it is perfect.
This recipe is the easiest thing in the entire world.
Actually going to start here just because you do it by hand, easy peasy, we love that.
I'm just mixing together my dry ingredients really quickly.
And then I'm going to take some of these dry ingredients and I'm going to toss my blueberries
in them because what happens is this makes sure that the blueberries are coated with
the flour and they don't sink to the bottom of the batter.
So these are done, this is done, set them aside, now in here, you add sugar, oil, eggs
and vanilla all together and you're going to whisk that really well and just do it by
hand like I said but you can use a handheld electric whisk.
Look at all those vanilla beans.
That's why I make my own vanilla extract, people.
And I have a video and recipe on my website if you want to see how to make your own because
it's absolutely unbeatable.
If you don't want to use vegetable oil or like a clear oil, then go ahead and use some
melted butter, I actually think they come out a lot lighter and fluffier with oil, that's
why I do it this way.
Add the dry ingredients.
And then what I do is I kind of just, I mix this while adding the milk because you might
not need it all, typically you use about three quarters of a cup here, but just keep an eye
on the batter, you don't want it too thick, you don't want it too loose, you want it just
right.
Now we just add the blueberries with all of the flour.
A little bit stuck to the bottom because the blueberries were slightly wet, that's fine.
And then you're just going to stir them in with a spatula.
That's gorgeous.
And now you just take a large ice cream scoop and go ahead and fill your muffins.
All filled, these are going to be some really big muffins, and now I'm taking these ingredients
with a pastry cutter and I'm just cutting the butter in.
And I just go ahead and top each one.
If you don't want to make them that big you can go ahead and divide the batter between
like fifteen muffins but go big or go home, you know what I mean?
In the oven they go about 20 to 25 minutes, and then I'll show you what they look like
when they are done.
And be prepared for the best blueberry muffin of your life.
They're so easy, I'm telling you they just come out good every time.
I don't get it!
Alright so these were in he oven for twenty minutes, I let them cool completely and you
guys!
These are bakery style, they are big, they've got a crunchy lid, they smell heavenly and
I don't even know, I mean look at this guy right here.
I mean look at that, I don't even know where to go first.
You know what I'm saying?
I have let these cool, and they're absolute perfection, look at that crunchy delicious
topping, I just want to make sure - look at all those blueberries!
I might have gone a little overboard with the blueberries, but you know what?
It's the season for blueberries.
The best.
The best!
