Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, with a few moist crumbs attached.
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. Enjoy!
