Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until perfectly combined.
  4. In another bowl, mix the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula.
  7. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Baking

  2. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins freeze wonderfully; just wrap them individually in plastic wrap. For healthier alternatives, use stevia for sugar, almond milk for buttermilk, and applesauce for butter.
