This blueberry muffin calls for lemon zest. We feel like it is a must in the recipe. We often add a lot of lemon zest (a lot meaning the zest of 2 lemons!) and use buttermilk. The flavors are out of this world! If your family or guests aren’t a huge fan of lemon zest, simply cut back to zesting half or a whole lemon. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can sub it out with milk that you already have in the refrigerator.
Ingredients for Blueberry Muffin Recipe
- unsalted butter
- lemon zest
- sugar
- egg
- vanilla
- all purpose flour – you can also use cake flour
- baking powder
- kosher salt
- fresh blueberries
- milk – you can use whole milk, buttermilk or whatever is in your fridge
How to Make Blueberry Muffins
Preheat the oven to 375°.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, lemon zest and 1 cup of sugar together until light and fluffy.
Next, add the egg and vanilla until combined.
In a medium bowl, toss the blueberries with 1/4 cup of flour.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the flour mixture (dry ingredients) to the butter a little at a time (We did this in thirds in the video below), alternating with the milk.
Once the batter has fully combined, fold in the blueberries.
Grease a jumbo muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter (or you can use liners). Distribute the batter with a heaping tablespoon into each cup of the tin. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 8-10 minutes before serving.
