Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, egg, and lemon zest until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the lemon glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and drizzling consistency.
- Once muffins are completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of each muffin.
- Allow glaze to set for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Blueberry Lemon Muffins!
Tips
- Use fresh, plump blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter – lumpy is good! Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins.
- Gently fold blueberries into the batter to prevent them from breaking and turning the entire batter blue.
- Check muffins a minute or two before the recommended baking time to prevent over-browning.
- Let the muffins cool completely before glazing to ensure the glaze sets beautifully.
- For extra lemon flavor, add a bit of lemon extract to the batter or glaze.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
