Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Lemon Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Wash fresh blueberries and zest lemons to have all ingredients ready.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in milk, egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, taking care not to break them to prevent color bleeding.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool completely before glazing.
  7. Prepare Lemon Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Adjust thickness by adding more juice or sugar.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle lemon glaze generously over cooled muffins, letting it drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Keep blueberries cold before folding in to prevent sinking.
  • Do not overmix batter to maintain softness and light texture.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best citrus flavor.
  • Allow muffins to cool fully before adding glaze to keep it glossy and intact.
  • Adjust glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar for thicker glaze or more lemon juice for thinner drizzle.
