Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blackberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the blackberries, taking care not to crush them too much.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once cooled, dust the tops of the muffins with powdered sugar for added sweetness and a beautiful finish.
Serve and enjoy your Lemon Blackberry Muffins!
