Notes
My recipes have been developed and tested in metric grams. I highly recommend using a weighing scale and measuring out your ingredients the metric way.
Salt: If you don’t have kosher salt, halve the amount of salt called for in the recipe. 1 teaspoon kosher salt = ½ teaspoon fine salt. Please note I am using Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt and not Morton Salt, which is a coarse kosher salt. Coarse kosher salt is much too salty for this recipe.
Oil: make sure you use a neutral oil like sunflower, vegetable or canola oil.
Lemon: if you want to make these blueberry muffins with lemon zest, add the zest of a lemon when you add the blueberries to the batter.
Jumbo Muffins: follow the same recipe but bake the muffins in a jumbo muffin pan. Bake for 5 minutes at 425℉, then at 350℉ for 25-27 minutes.
