Lemon Blueberry Muffins Recipe

[ad#co-3]

Easy Blueberry Muffins Ingredients

• ⅛ tsp of fine salt
• ½ tsp of pure vanilla extract
• ¾ cup of sugar (and a little extra for sprinkling on top)
• 1 cup of unsalted butter (1 stick)
• 1 tbsp of lemon zest (finely grated)
• 1 cup of whole milk
• 1 tbsp of baking powder
• 1½ cups of fresh blueberries (rinse and dry them)
• 2 large eggs
• 2½ cups of all-purpose flour
• Freshly-grated nutmeg

Blueberry Muffins Directions:

1. Heat your oven to 425⁰ Place 12 cupcake liners in a muffin tin.
2. Mix the baking powder, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and flour in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Melt the butter in a microwave. It should melt in about 30 seconds.
4. Mix the butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest in a bowl.
5. Make a small hole in the middle of the dry mixture and pour the wet ingredients inside.
6. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon till it is moist but still lumpy. Avoid over-mixing because your muffins will be dense if you do.
7. Add the blueberries. Pour the mixture into the muffin tin and divide evenly. Sprinkle sugar on top generously.
8. Put the muffin tin in the oven and decrease the temperature to 375⁰
9. Bake till the muffins turn golden brown (for about 25 minutes). Rotate the tin halfway through baking. Test one of the muffins with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, they’re done.
10. Remove the tin from the oven and place it on a rack to cool.
11. Remove muffins and serve.
