Blueberry Muffins
To prepare these delicious blueberry muffins, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients so that the preparation process is as simple and enjoyable as possible. You will need 200 g of sugar, 3 large eggs, 100 ml of sunflower oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 250 ml of buttermilk, 300 g of flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, 1 packet of baking powder, the juice of half a lemon, and 200 g of fresh or frozen blueberries.
Begin by beating the sugar with the eggs in a large bowl using an electric mixer or a whisk. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color, at which point you can add the oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix well to combine all the liquid ingredients.
In another bowl, combine the flour with the cinnamon and salt, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavors. Add the baking powder and quench it with the lemon juice, which will activate the leavening agent. This step is essential for getting fluffy and airy muffins.
Once the dry ingredients are prepared, gradually incorporate them into the mixture of liquid ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon to avoid forming lumps. It is important not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins. Once you have a smooth batter, add the blueberries and gently mix to distribute them evenly in the batter.
Prepare the muffin tin by placing paper liners in each cavity. Using a spoon or a spatula, fill each cavity with batter, being careful not to exceed ¾ of the capacity to allow the muffins to rise beautifully during baking.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the muffin tin inside. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and firm to the touch. Check them with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
After removing them from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust them with powdered sugar for an appetizing look and an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy! These blueberry muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even to impress guests!
