Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit and Extras:
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cavity.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, creating a smooth, uniform dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until the ingredients are fully incorporated and slightly frothy.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter comes together without overmixing.
- Carefully toss fresh blueberries with lemon zest, then delicately fold them into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar generously over the top of each muffin, creating a sparkling, crunchy surface.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the burst of blueberry flavor and delicate lemon undertones.
Notes
- Prevent blueberries from sinking by tossing them in a light dusting of flour before adding to the batter, which helps suspend them evenly throughout the muffins.
- Swap traditional milk with dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk to create a vegan-friendly version of these delightful muffins.
- Experiment with different berries such as raspberries or blackberries for unique flavor variations that will keep your taste buds excited.
- Allow muffins to cool slightly before removing from the tin to maintain their delicate structure and prevent potential crumbling.
