How to Make Blueberry Muffins
1. Preheat the oven: Set it to 375°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease it.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and stir in both sugars and the milk. Then mix in the cooled melted butter.
4. Bring it all together: Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until blended—don’t overmix!
5. Add the blueberries: Gently fold them in so they stay whole and juicy.
6. Fill the muffin cups: Scoop batter into each cup, filling them about ¾ full.
7. Bake: Place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool (a little!): Let them sit a few minutes before enjoying warm—especially delicious with a pat of butter.

Tip 2: These muffins freeze beautifully. Let them cool, place them in a zip-top bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.

Baking powder or baking soda?? Ingredients call for Baking Powder but the instructions say Baking Soda. Crap, my oven is heated and now I don't know what to add.
