Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 2 cups
- Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup
- Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Milk: 1 cup
- Vegetable oil: 1/4 cup
- Egg: 1 large
- Lemon zest: 1 tablespoon
- Blueberries: 1 cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and lemon zest.
- Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Step 6: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- For a warm, bakery-fresh taste, microwave a muffin for 10-15 seconds or warm in a low oven.
- These muffins are delightful served with a dollop of lemon curd or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
- Gently toss your blueberries with a tablespoon of flour before folding them in to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
