Description
Moist and fluffy muffins bursting with juicy blueberries and bright lemon flavor. These bakery-style muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light sweet snack.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, not thawed)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to help prevent them from sinking.
- Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used; add them directly from the freezer without thawing.
- For extra lemon flavor, add a light lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
