Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Lemon Glaze

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and ensure easy muffin removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and flavors.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and milk until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest to infuse fresh citrus aroma into the batter.
  4. Incorporate Wet into Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to prevent them from breaking and discoloring the batter. Distribute them evenly throughout.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the muffin tops are golden brown.
  7. Prepare Lemon Glaze: While the muffins cool, mix powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Adjust sweetness or tartness to taste.
  8. Glaze the Muffins: Drizzle or brush the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins to add a tangy finish that complements the sweet blueberries.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture; if using frozen, toss them in flour before mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins; fold ingredients gently.
  • Bring eggs and milk to room temperature before mixing for smoother batter.
  • Let muffins cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick to avoid under- or over-baking.
