Description

A light cinnamon-sugar topping is all that's needed on these sweet blueberry cupcakes, but feel free to frost them or top them with a warm vanilla sauce.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 pint fresh blueberries
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 pinch ground cinnamon

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2 Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
3 Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with milk, beating batter briefly after each addition.
4 Crush 1/2 of the blueberries with a fork in a small bowl; mix into the batter. Gently fold remaining blueberries into the batter and fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full.
5 Stir sugar and cinnamon for topping together in a small bowl; sprinkle over cupcakes.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 30 minutes. Cool in the tin for 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
