The cooking process explained
Making blueberry muffins is straightforward and fun! You’ll start by preheating your oven, which is crucial for achieving that perfect rise. Next, you’ll mix together the dry ingredients while whisking the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Gentle combining ensures a tender muffin texture, and folding in the blueberries at the end guarantees that each bite bursts with fruity flavor. Lastly, you’ll pour the batter into muffin cups and bake until golden.
