5: Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the dried, frozen or fresh blueberries. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are some lumps.

7: Bake: For the 6 large muffins, bake for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For the dozen regular-size muffins, bake approximately 18 to 20 minutes.
