Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups plain yogurt
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, plain yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s fine for the batter to be slightly lumpy.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them 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 your zesty blueberry muffins!
