Tips:
- Choose the right blueberries: Fresh, plump blueberries are essential for moist and flavorful muffins. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry streaks remain.
- Use muffin liners: Muffin liners prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan and make for easy cleanup. If you don't have muffin liners, grease the muffin pan generously.
- Fill the muffin cups to the top: This will ensure that the muffins rise evenly and have a nice rounded shape.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow them to set and firm up.
