Description

Bright, fresh, and moist lemon blueberry muffins with a subtle tang and juicy bursts of blueberries. Perfect for quick homemade baking and enjoyed as breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups (225g) fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each.
Stir in Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them. If using frozen, toss in flour first.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, rotating pan halfway through if needed. Muffins are done when golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Drizzle with lemon glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar once cooled.

Notes

Use fresh lemon zest and juice for best flavor. Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Do not overmix batter to keep muffins tender. Muffins store well at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
