Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
4. Combine mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add blueberries: Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
6. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Expert Tips

• Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen ones. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
• Don’t overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in dense muffins. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
• Add a streusel topping: For an extra touch, sprinkle a streusel topping over the muffins before baking. Check out our Bakery Style Blueberry Streusel Muffins for inspiration.
• Store properly: Keep muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
