Prepare Muffin Batter
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (ca. 204 °C). Line muffin cups with paper liners (8 for big muffins, 10 for standard, or 22 for mini).
- Lightly grease or spray the tops of the muffin tin with oil to prevent the oversized tops from sticking. High-quality nonstick pans may not require this.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Choose a measuring jug that holds at least 1 cup (0.24 l). Add the oil to the jug, and then crack in the egg. Pour in enough milk to reach the 1-cup line on the jug; this should be about 1/3 cup of milk. Incorporate the vanilla extract and blend everything thoroughly.
- Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix! The batter will be thick; see tips below.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
Bake muffins
- Divide the batter between muffin cups. If you are making big-topped muffins, the batter will reach the tops of the paper liners. Sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin.
- Bake muffins 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops are no longer wet and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out with crumbs, not wet batter. Transfer to a cooling rack.
- To store, place them in a plastic bag, seal, and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or place them in freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Note
- Frozen blueberries: Add frozen blueberries while frozen; do not thaw.
- Measuring your flour: Fluff the flour in its container, then gently scoop it into your measuring cup until slightly mounded. Level off the top with a knife for accurate measuring. For even more accuracy, use a scale and measure the flour by weight (in grams).
- The baking time for mini muffins will be shorter—monitor their progress and anticipate a baking time of 9 to 11 minutes.
- Batter thickness: The batter should be thick and "scoopable," not runny or excessively thick like dough. If the batter is too runny, add flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it has the correct consistency. If the batter is too thick or dry, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
