Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the lemon zest and blueberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a simple lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
  • Ensure your blueberries are dry before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
  • You can use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
