Every family gathering and holiday, we would go get a box of them to bring.

This recipe is my take on re-creating the iconic muffins, these are moist, generously filled with ripe blueberries, and of course, they have that crisp sugar top.

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk (we use whole milk)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 ½ cups of fresh blueberries, washed and dry
• 2 tablespoons Demerara or turbinado sugar (we use “sugar in the raw” brand)
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Make the batter, wet ingredients: In a stand mixer, cream together the 1 cup granulated white sugar and ½ cup unsalted butter, until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, incorporating after each addition. Add the pure vanilla extract. Gradually, add the flour mixture into the batter, ¾ cup at a time, adding the milk in between until fully incorporated.
3. Add the blueberries: In a small bowl, mash ½ cup of blueberries, and fold them into the batter. Fold in the remaining whole blueberries, reserving some for topping the muffin batter before baking.
4. Make the muffins: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners, add ¼ cup muffin batter to each muffin cup and distribute any remaining batter evenly. Top each muffin batter cup with a few blueberries (5-6 each). Top the batter with 2 tablespoons of demerara (or turbinado) sugar.
5. Bake: Bake the muffin batter in a 375-degree F (190 degrees Celsius) oven for 30 minutes. When they are done baking, allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes to set up (they will be hot inside!), and enjoy as is or with some butter.
