Ingredients
  

Muffin Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) Add frozen blueberries directly to the batter.
  • 1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream Substitute with buttermilk or dairy-free alternatives if needed.
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 lemon zest of 1 lemon Zest only the yellow part.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you prep the muffin batter.
  2. Grease a muffin tin with a little melted butter or line it with muffin liners.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  4. In another large bowl, combine the yogurt or sour cream, egg, melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  3. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the batter. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. You can freeze them for up to 3 months.
