Notes
Note: The batter should be thick, but light and fluffy!Tips:
Don't overwork the batter - over-mixing your batter adds too much air in it, which then leaves your muffins gummy or extremely chewy!
Gently fold in the blueberries - if you mash the blueberries into the batter they may burst prematurely, resulting in a more soggy experience.
Use the toothpick method - If you pull your muffins out too early they'll be undercooked, but a bit past their time and they will be hard. Make sure you keep your eye on them and use the toothpick method to determine if they're cooked in the center and ready to take out of the oven.
Don't leave out the baking powder - this ensures they rise and stay light and fluffy. Too much and they will rise and then collapse, and not enough will make them dense!
