Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper muffin cups. This step is crucial as it ensures your muffins will bake evenly and come out of the tin easily.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined. This dry mixture forms the base of your muffins and gives them their structure and flavor.

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then, add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The wet mixture adds moisture and richness to the muffins.

Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the mixtures together. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as the ingredients are just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins, while gentle folding ensures a light and fluffy texture.

Gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter. If you're using frozen blueberries, there's no need to thaw them first. Just be careful not to crush the berries as you fold them in, as this will prevent the batter from turning blue. The blueberries will add a burst of flavor and a pop of color to your muffins.

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. You can use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to make this process easier and more precise. Filling the cups to the right level ensures that the muffins will rise properly and have a nice, rounded top.

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 - 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so start checking for doneness at 18 minutes. The muffins should be golden brown on top and spring back slightly when touched.

Once the muffins are done baking, remove the tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. You can enjoy these delicious blueberry muffins on their own, or add a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey for an extra treat.
