Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups plain yogurt
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting blueberries)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, plain yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s fine for the batter to be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
Step 6
Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
Step 7
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your zesty blueberry muffins!
