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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fill the Muffin Tins:
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups in the tin.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
