White Chocolate Blueberry Muffins
Soft and tender blueberry muffins studded with white chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 113 g unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest finely grated
- 180 g buttermilk* room temperature
- 220 g blueberries fresh or frozen
- 120 g white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C. Line a 12 muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, lemon zest, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix it all together until combined.
- Fold in the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula.
- Add in the blueberries and white chocolate chips and gently fold them in. If using frozen blueberries, give them a quick rinse first so they don't bleed into the batter.
- Divide the muffin mixture evenly over the muffin liners.
- Bake the muffins at 425°F/220°C for 5 minutes then turn the oven down to 350°F/180°C and continue baking for another 15-18 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed in the center.
- Remove them from the oven and let the warm muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and placing them on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
Notes
The cup sizes are US size, which is smaller than metric. For best results, use scales.
*The buttermilk can be substituted with plain yogurt OR 170g of regular milk (¾ cup minus ¾ Tbsp) plus 10g (¾ Tbsp) white vinegar or lemon juice. Mix these two ingredients together before beginning the recipe to let it sit and curdle for 5-10 minutes.
