Notes
Tip: Room temperature egg: Using a large egg at room temperature helps the muffin batter mix smoothly without overworking.
Swaps and Substitutions:
- Butter swaps: You can use unsalted butter, vegetable oil, or even almond milk for a dairy-free option.
- Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are my first choice, but frozen berries work too. Just keep them frozen until mixing to prevent purple streaks.
- Whole wheat option: Substitute up to half the flour with whole wheat flour for extra fiber.
