Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the blueberries and chopped basil until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

- Substitute the blueberries with raspberries or chopped strawberries for a different flavor profile.
