Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons lemon zest
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well-combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined, making sure not to overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 2 teaspoons of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 6

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
