Every time I go to a bakery, a donut shop, or out to breakfast or a weekend brunch, I'm always searching for blueberry muffins. There is nothing better than a moist, tender, blueberry muffin, and nothing worse than the disappointment when they are dry and flavorless. This recipe for lemon blueberry muffins has it all, the tartness of lemon, the sweetness of a moist muffin and the pop of blueberries. Lemon and blueberries, they're a match made in heaven. 👼
This recipe has oil and sour cream, so they are very moist muffins and the combination of lemon and blueberries give them that special zing.
Ingredients
⅔ cup sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup sour cream, can substitute yogurt
½ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
Turbinado sugar, optional but I like to dust the tops of the muffins with this coarse sugar before putting them in the oven to bake.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375° (190°C) and line 8 muffin cups with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, and in a separate bowl mix together the wet ingredients.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients togetheruntil just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries, Don't overmix and don't use a mixer, do this by hand. If you are using frozen blueberries, shake them with just a bit of flour, about a tablespoon, so they won't sink to the bottom of the muffins.
Spoon batter into the muffin cups until 3/4 full.
Bake for 25-30 minutes on middle rack in your oven, until a knife inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let cool 10-15 minutes before removing. I love warm muffins, so I usually reheat for a few seconds in the microwave.
I love huge, oversized bakery style muffins and I'm also a fan of what I call fancy muffins, the kind you see in muffin shops with the muffin tucked into a parchment paper tulip cup. You can take 5x5" parchment paper squares, put them in your muffin tins, then use a measuring cup to press them evenly into the muffin tins, or... you can just buy them on Amazon already formed in the tulip shape. They're inexpensive, and easy peasy.
