• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 cups fresh 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 flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries, being cautious to prevent them from bursting.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
