Easy blueberry muffins

Method

• step 1

  Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Beat the butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy.

  

• step 2

  Add the eggs and beat in for 1 min, then mix in the yogurt, vanilla extract and milk.

• step 3

  Combine the flour, baking powder and bicarb in a bowl with ¼ tsp fine salt, then tip this into the wet ingredients and stir in.

  

• step 4

  Finally, fold in the blueberries and divide the mixture between the muffin cases.

  

• step 5

  Bake for 5 mins, then reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15-18 mins more until risen and golden, and a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

  

• step 6

  Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container – after a day or two, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 secs on high to freshen up.
