– **1/2 cup unsalted butter**, softened
– **3/4 cup granulated sugar**
– **2 large eggs**
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract**
– **1/2 cup whole milk**
– **2 cups fresh blueberries** (frozen blueberries also work, just be sure not to thaw them before adding)

### How to Make Blueberry Muffins
Making these blueberry muffins is quick and easy, with just a few simple steps. Here’s how to do it:
#### Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking.
#### Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together **flour**, **baking powder**, and **salt**. Set this bowl aside for now. The dry ingredients are the foundation of your muffin batter, and whisking them together helps ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
#### Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the **butter** and **sugar**. Beat them together on medium speed for about **2-3 minutes**, until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step adds air into the batter, helping to create a tender, fluffy muffin texture.
#### Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Next, add the **eggs**, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the **vanilla extract** and mix until incorporated. The eggs and vanilla add richness and flavor to the batter.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Now it’s time to bring the wet and dry ingredients together. Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the **milk**. Start with a little flour mixture, then pour in a bit of milk, and continue until all ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in dense muffins. Stir just until everything is incorporated, and the batter is smooth.
