• 2 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ cup unsalted butter (melted) or vegetable oil

🔪 Instructions

1. Preheat oven
   Set to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tray with paper liners.

2. Mix dry ingredients
   In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Mix wet ingredients
   In another bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla.

4. Combine
   Gently fold wet ingredients into dry. Don’t overmix—batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. Prepare blueberries
   Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour (prevents sinking), then fold into batter.

6. Fill & bake
   Divide into muffin cups (fill about ¾ full).
   Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool & enjoy
   Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
