Makes 12 Muffins

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 cups fresh organic blueberries

Directions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly oil the muffin tin to prevent sticking.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, turbinado sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the zest of one lemon. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and fresh lemon juice. Make sure the wet ingredients are well combined.
4. Create the Batter:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until the ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
5. Fold in Blueberries:
   • Carefully fold in the fresh organic blueberries into the batter. Be gentle to avoid crushing the blueberries and distributing their vibrant color throughout the batter.
6. Fill the Muffin Tins:
   • Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups in the tin.
7. Top and Bake:
   • Sprinkle a pinch of turbinado sugar over the top of each muffin for a subtle crunch. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
8. Bake to Perfection:
   • Bake the muffins for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Enjoy:
   • Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve and Savor:
    • Serve the Lemon Blueberry Muffins warm or at room temperature. The zesty lemon flavor and burst of blueberries make these muffins a delightful treat for any time of the day.
