These muffins bake up tall and golden with that craggy, domed bakery top everyone loves, thanks to a high-heat start that sets the crust before the oven eases down to finish things gently. Butter and a touch of oil keep the crumb rich and moist, while sour cream adds a subtle tang that makes the whole muffin taste extra tender. Juicy blueberries burst throughout every bite, and a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top gives you that irresistible crackly, sparkling crust. The batter comes together quickly in two bowls with a gentle folding technique that keeps things light and shaggy, never dense or tough. It's an easy make-ahead treat for busy mornings, and a solid pick for an egg free baking rotation. Warm from the oven or at room temperature, these are the kind of muffins that disappear fast.

2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
¼ cup neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)
2 large eggs
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
¾ cup whole milk
¼ cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (or chocolate chips, or diced strawberries)
2 tbsp turbinado sugar or coarse sugar, for topping (optional)

Instructions

1
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup well with nonstick spray.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
