Mary Berry’s Blueberry Muffins are classic muffins made with a tender sponge base and loaded with fresh blueberries. The muffins rise beautifully and have a soft, moist crumb, thanks to the blueberries bursting with juice while baking. These muffins are perfect for serving at breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon treat.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/gas mark 6. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
In a large bowl, sift the self-raising flour and baking powder together. Stir in the caster sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly between the muffin cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
