Equipment

  • 12 cup muffin pan
  • paper liners
  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple diced
  • ½ cup Coarse turbinado sugar optional topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners spritzed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the blueberries. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and set it aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla, mixing until blended. Stir in the apple.
  • Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture all at once. Stir just until the ingredients are moistened; the batter should be lumpy.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each one almost to the top. Top with Coarse turbinado sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden and a wooden toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then, remove them from the muffin cups and serve them warm.

Notes

  • Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Fill the muffin cups 2/3 to 3/4 full to ensure they rise properly without spilling over.
  • This allows for even heat distribution and a uniform bake.
  • Use a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
