Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup granulated sugar

Zest of 1 large lemon

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice added)

Juice of 1 large lemon

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. Set aside.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, mixing until well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract, buttermilk, and lemon juice until just combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold until almost combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.

          Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

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

                Cool: Once done, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your delightful lemon blueberry muffins!
