Ingredients

  • Egg: 2 large eggs
  • Plain Flour: 250g plain flour
  • Bicarbonate Of Soda: 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • Unsalted Butter: 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • Maple Syrup: 50g maple syrup, plus 1 1/2 tbsp for the topping
  • Baking Powder: 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Buttermilk: 50g buttermilk
  • Granulated Sugar: 140g granulated sugar
  • Blueberry: 175g blueberries, plus extra for the top
  • Icing Sugar: 3 tbsp icing sugar

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
