Equipment

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Paper liners

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle. Line the muffin tin with paper liners.Heat the oven to 205°C with a rack in the middle. Line the muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until pale and slightly thick, about 1 minute. Whisk in the melted butter, yogurt and vanilla.

  4. Add the flour mixture and fold with a spatula until only a few streaks of flour remain. Fold in the blueberries gently, just until no dry flour shows.

  5. Divide the batter among the cups; they will be full. Sprinkle the tops with the extra sugar.

  6. Bake until domed and golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean, 20–24 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack.

Notes

  • Don’t thaw frozen blueberries; they bleed less if they go in frozen. Add 2 to 3 minutes to the baking time.
  • Muffins keep in a covered container for 2 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
