Description
Delicious Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Muffins perfect for a delightful morning treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large lemon (zested and juiced)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each muffin for an extra sweet crunch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful breakfast treat!
Notes
- Ensure the blueberries are evenly coated in the batter for optimal flavor.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a healthier option, substitute half the amount of all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
