Equipment

  • Muffin tin (12-count)
  • Muffin liners or nonstick baking spray
  • Two mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Ice cream scoop or large spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for coating blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar such as turbinado or sparkling sugar for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix.
  • Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour (this prevents them from sinking). Gently fold them into the batter.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
  • Let the filled muffin tin rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. This helps the muffins rise taller.
  • Sprinkle the tops with extra blueberries and a generous pinch of coarse sugar for a bakery-style crunch.
  • Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 15–17 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
