Blueberry Corn Muffins

By msippigrl

Slightly sweet, these corn muffins are always a hit! Great with a cup of coffee or cold milk.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar, minus 1 tablespoon
• 1 extra large egg
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk (I used 1/2 milk and 1/2 buttermilk)
• 3/4 cup fresh blueberries

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse the blueberries; spread out in a single layer on several layers of paper towels to dry completely.

Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave just until barely melted; set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter or spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.

Measure a packed tablespoon of brown sugar out and add it to a measuring cup; spoon in enough granulated for the both to total 1/2 cup. Add it to a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt; whisk or sift the mixture together. Make a well in the center. Set aside.

In another mixing bowl, whisk the egg slightly. Whisk in the vanilla, and milk/buttermilk.

Pour the melted butter into the well of dry ingredients. Add the egg mixture and gently mix in just until combined. Fold in the blueberries.

Fill muffin cups almost 3/4 full with batter.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.

Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

Using a dinner knife to loosen the edges, remove muffins to the wire rack to cool completely.
