Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Add blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. For an extra touch, add a streusel topping before baking.
