  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract.
  4. Mix wet and dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a rubber spatula until just combined.
  5. Add blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Bring ingredients to room temperature for best results.
Avoid overmixing the batter.
Don’t overbake the muffins.
For variations, consider adding lemon zest, cinnamon sugar, or a streusel topping.
For more flavor, use high-quality ingredients like fresh blueberries and real vanilla extract.
