Ingredients

Best blueberry muffins
  • 4 cup self-raising flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 50 millilitre vegetable oil
  • 2 cup fresh or frozen berries
  • a mix of 1 tbsp cinnamon and 2 tbsp sugar for the topping

Method

  • 1
    Place dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  • 2
    Combine wet ingredients and add with fruit to dry mixture. Mix very gently.
  • 3
    Place in greased muffin pans, topping with a light dusting of cinnamon and sugar. Fan bake at 180°C until a skewer comes out cleanly.

Notes

*Allow 15 minutes for mini muffins and 20 minutes for regular-sized muffins. Frozen fruit takes longer to cook. The lactic acid in buttermilk reacts well with raising agents such as baking powder or self-raising flour, creating an extra-moist, soft result. With just 0.8% fat, buttermilk combined with a little oil makes these muffins light.
