Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon for tossing blueberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour cream full-fat recommended
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil or other neutral oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional, but recommended
  • 1.5 cups blueberries fresh or frozen

Equipment

  • 1 12-cup muffin tin
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Whisk and Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to fold everything together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour. Carefully fold the flour-coated blueberries into the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. The cups will be quite full.
  7. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then, without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue to bake for another 15-18 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: This is the most important tip for fluffy muffins. Mix only until the flour disappears.
High-Temp Start: Starting at 425°F is essential for creating tall, bakery-style muffin tops.
Blueberry Tip: Tossing blueberries in flour helps prevent them from all sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
