Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats and milk. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until fragrant and slightly moist.
Add the soft oat mixture, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice to the sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
