Over the Top Blueberry Muffins

Step 1

Heat oven to 375ºF. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan and one small oven-safe ramekin with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, egg yolks, yogurt, and orange zest until smooth.

Step 3

Make a crater in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until just barely combined. Resist the urge to overmix — there should be some lumps of flour in the batter.

Step 4

Fold in the blueberries, mixing just to combine.

Step 5

Drop a scant 1 cup of batter in each of the muffin tin's wells. Whatever's leftover can be dropped into the prepared ramekin. The cups should be quite full.

Step 6

Sprinkle the muffins with the demerera sugar and bake or until a toothpick inserted into the bottom of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from oven and turn out, upside down, onto a clean tea towel to cool completely. This step is key in preventing mushy muffin bottoms, which nobody, and I do mean nobody, likes.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
