Time 45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

250g plain flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
140g granulated sugar
100g unsalted butter , melted
50g buttermilk
2 large eggs
50g maple syrup , plus 11/2 tbsp for the topping
1 tsp vanilla extract
175g blueberries , plus extra for the top
3 tbsp icing sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place the muffin cases in a muffin tray. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, bicarb, sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk the butter, buttermilk, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a jug. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and add most of the blueberries. Stir briefly to just combine, but don't overmix or the muffins will be heavy.
  • Divide the mixture between the muffin cases (use an ice cream scoop if you have one) and bake for 22-25 mins until well risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack.
  • Mix the remaining maple syrup and the icing sugar together with a pinch of salt until smooth. Brush the icing over each muffin while they are still warm. Dot a few blueberries on top of each one. Best eaten within a day or two.
