Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Main Filling

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to ensure even baking and easy removal of muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar to combine evenly for a balanced sweetness and proper rising.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter, eggs, milk (or buttermilk), and lemon zest until smooth and well blended, adding moisture and bright flavor to the muffins.
  4. Gently Fold Ingredients Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold until just combined to avoid overmixing, then carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute without crushing them.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for rising. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare the Lemon Glaze: While the muffins cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more sugar to thicken or more lemon juice to thin as needed.
  7. Glaze the Muffins: Drizzle the lemon glaze generously over the warm muffins and allow it to set before serving for a glossy, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, add them directly to the batter to avoid thawing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure soft, tender muffins.
  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for better ingredient incorporation.
  • Coat blueberries in a small amount of flour before folding in to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated for optimal rise and texture.
