- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the wet ingredients and stir.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra lemony flavor, you can sprinkle a little extra granulated sugar on top of the batter before baking.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used. Just don’t thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Ensure your oven is preheated properly for even baking.
