First, preheat your oven to 430 F or 220 C and line a non-stick or aluminum muffin tin with cupcake or paper liner.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides and cream well to make sure there are no lumps of sugar left.
To it add the Pure Vanilla Extract along with the Yogurt and mix well at low speed using a handheld or stand mixer. (If you are using Eggs, then skip the Yogurt and add 1 Large Egg at this point)
Next, add the AP Flour along with the two baking agents - Baking Soda and Baking Powder and mix well. Also, add the spices - Ground Coriander Seeds and Ground Nutmeg into the mixture and mix well using a wooden or silicone spatula.
At this point add the milk and mix well. Finally, add the frozen blueberries and mix well until it gets combined with your Muffin batter. Do not overmix. Your Muffin batter should be thick and lumpy.

Notes
You do not have to use Yogurt if you are using 1 large Egg. The Yogurt is just used as a replacement for Egg.
If you are using Frozen Blueberries, Donot thaw them before use. Just bake for 5 extra min.
Coriander Powder and Nutmeg Powder gives a wonderful spice to these classic Southern Blueberries.
Adding Coarse sugar on top of your Muffins will improve the taste and cut out the bitterness of Baked Berries. Some berries might turn out to be bitter when they get baked. So, adding the coarse sugar on top will take care of that.
If you want you can add a Tablespoon of the muffin batter in your tin and then add some more Blueberries or a Tablespoon of melted Cream Cheese and then top with another Tablespoon of the Muffin batter. This will make sure that your Blueberry Muffins are even more delicious.
