Ingredients
For 6 muffins, you’ll need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup whole milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Step 1: Prep Your Muffin Tin and Ingredients
-
Season the Muffin Tin
If your Cook On Fire Muffin Tin MF6 is new, ensure it’s properly seasoned to prevent sticking. Lightly coat the cups with butter or cooking spray.
-
Preheat Your Heat Source
Whether you’re using a campfire, grill, or oven, preheat to medium heat (approximately 375°F). Place the muffin tin on a heat-safe surface nearby to warm gently.
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
-
Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Combine and Add Blueberries
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Step 2: Bake the Muffins
-
Fill the Muffin Tin
Divide the batter evenly among the 6 cups of the Muffin Tin MF6, filling each about ¾ full.
-
Cook Over Your Heat Source
Place the muffin tin on a grill grate or over indirect campfire heat. Cover with a heat-safe lid or aluminum foil to trap the heat. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the tin halfway through to ensure even cooking.
-
Check for Doneness
Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they’re ready.
Step 3: Cool and Serve
-
Cool in the Tin
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes to firm up. Then gently remove them and transfer to a wire rack or plate.
-
Serve Fresh
Enjoy warm blueberry muffins straight from the tin, or sprinkle with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
