dry ingredients and fold together with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until completely combined. Use a whisk to rid any large lumps of flour if needed. Avoid overmixing. The batter will be thick. Fold in the blueberries.
Divide batter between each muffin cup, filling all the way to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar
( for added crunch). Bake at 425 F for 5 minutes, then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350 F and continue to bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown and centers are set. Stick a toothpick in the center of a muffin to test for doneness. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes in pan before
serving.
Cover leftover muffins and store at room temperature for 5 days or in the refrigerator for 1 week. Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter.
