Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • Non-stick baking spray

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Muffin tin
  • Parchment liners (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spray the muffin tin with non-stick baking spray or line it with parchment liners.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Whisk until well blended, then add the eggs and milk or buttermilk, mixing until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until there are no lumps.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or oat milk and a dairy-free butter alternative.
  • For gluten-free muffins, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend that includes xanthan gum.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
