  • ¼ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup milk any kind
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries washed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar optional topping

  3. Whisk in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract into the wet mixture. The batter will be thick and smooth — perfect for tender muffins.

  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Once just combined, fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
