Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
Mix the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Add Blueberries: Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid breaking them.
Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent them from bleeding color.
You can add a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top of the muffins before baking for a crunchy texture.
