Jamie Oliver’s Blueberry Muffins recipe is a simple, classic muffin made with flour, sugar, milk, eggs, butter, and blueberries. The batter is gently mixed, filled into muffin cups, and baked until golden and soft, creating a light, fluffy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 250g plain flour

    • 150g caster sugar

    • 2 teaspoons baking powder

    • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

    • A pinch of salt

    • 150g fresh or frozen blueberries

    • 1 large egg

    • 250ml milk

    • 80g melted butter (or vegetable oil)

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • Optional: zest of 1 lemon for brightness

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Muffin Tin and Preheat the Oven

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a muffin tin with paper cases or lightly grease each cavity to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix All Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and lemon zest if using. Coating blueberries lightly in flour helps prevent them from sinking during baking.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. This step ensures an evenly blended batter.

Step 4: Create the Muffin Batter

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently. Avoid overmixing—stop when you no longer see dry flour. Fold in the blueberries at the end.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Cases

Spoon the batter into the muffin cases, filling each about ¾ full to allow proper rising.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden and Fluffy

Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let them cool on a wire rack.
