Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest using a spatula, being careful not to overmix as the blueberries may break.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bun comes out clean.
Allow the blueberry buns to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
