Lina’s Baking Journey and the Inspiration Behind Soft Blueberry Muffins

My love for baking started young. I grew up in Italy. My grandmother’s kitchen was my favorite place. It smelled like magic and comfort. She made everything from scratch. Her hands were always busy creating delicious things. I learned so much just watching her. Those simple ingredients turned into amazing food.

Moving to the USA brought new adventures. I wanted to share these tastes. Gourmet Gusto is my way of doing that. It’s about family traditions. It’s also about my own cooking experiments. These soft blueberry muffins are special. They remind me of home. They are full of flavor and love. I hope they bring joy to your kitchen too. Baking is a way to connect. It’s a way to share happiness.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra moist muffins, you can add an extra tablespoon of milk if the batter seems too thick.
To prevent blueberries from sinking, you can toss them with a tablespoon of the flour mixture before adding them to the batter.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
