Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (135-140 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened (28 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, room temperature or any neutral oil (26 grams)
  • ¼ cup sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk, room temperature (56 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and/or a few zests of lime or lemon
  • 1 cup blueberries, or more or less as desired

Instructions

  • Don't preheat the oven yet. The muffin batter needs to stand for 15 minutes. Just line 4 to 6 muffins cups with paper liners. Alternatively, you can skip the liners and use a silicone muffin pan. You can also skip both of those things and just grease the pan, but the muffins rise higher with paper or in silicone liners.
  • Mix the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir until evenly blended. This is important because you won't do much mixing once the liquid is added.
  • In a mixing bowl, using a heavy duty scraper or a big spoon, mash together the softened butter, coconut oil and sugar until evenly blended. Stir in the room temperature egg, milk and vanilla.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Do not add the blueberries yet.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of batter into 4 to 6 (depending on the size of your muffins) muffin cups. Sprinkle on a few blueberries. Add spoonfuls of batter, alternating with blueberries.
  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Allow the muffin batter to rest for about 15 minutes while the oven preheats.
  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown, cracked at the top and firm to the touch. Let cool for 10 minutes and remove muffins from the cups. You can serve them warm or let them sit for a while. I think the texture improves somewhat as they sit, in which case you can re-warm or toast.

Notes

Extra Protein Version -- Remove 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and replace with 3 tablespoons of whey protein powder.
