Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with butter or cooking spray.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3

In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

5

Toss the blueberries with 1 tbsp of flour to coat them lightly. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

6

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.

7

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

8

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tips

  • Fresh vs. Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent color bleeding.
  • Lemon Zest Substitute: If you don’t have lemon zest, a teaspoon of lemon juice can add a similar brightness.
  • Extra Fluffiness: For even fluffier muffins, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking.
  • Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Topping: Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a crunchy, sweet finish.
