Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 teaspoon of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful to distribute them evenly.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
