- 2 & ½ cups self raising flour 375 grams
- ½ cup caster sugar 110 grams
- 1 & ½ cups of milk 380 grams
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams butter
- 300 grams of blueberries - fresh or frozen fresh or frozen
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and lightly grease two x 12 hole muffin baking trays - you can also use paper muffin cases.
Place the butter into a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 seconds or until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and add the sugar before stirring to combine and make a well in the centre.
In a large jug, combine the milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture from the jug into the well and add the cooled melted butter. Gently fold the ingredients together with a large metal spoon until the mixture is almost combined.
Add the blueberries and gently fold through - make sure you don’t over mix as they blueberries will bleed (if using frozen) and overworking the mixture will give you a dense muffin.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tins and place into the oven to bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until cooked through when tested.
Carefully remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the baking trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Thermomix Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and lightly grease two x 12 hole muffin baking trays - you can also use paper muffin cases.
Place the butter into your Thermomix bowl and cook for 3 minutes at 60 degrees on speed 2 or until melted.
Add the self raising flour, caster sugar, milk, eggs and vanilla essence and mix for 10 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down. Mix for another 10 seconds on speed 5 or until just combined - it’s ok if the mixture is a little lumpy!
Add the blueberries and gently stir through using your spatula.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through when tested with a skewer.
Carefully remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the baking trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
