Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  8. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, you can add a simple lemon glaze on top once the muffins have cooled.
  • Ensure your blueberries are dry before folding them into the batter to prevent the muffins from becoming too wet.
  • Don’t overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough muffins.
