Unifying the Liquids and Solids
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Adding the Blueberries
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

Baking the Muffins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full of batter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Note
Variations:
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- Top the muffins with a streusel topping before baking.
- Drizzle the muffins with a glaze after baking.
