Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 heaping tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen make sure they are thoroughly defrosted
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • confectioners’ sugar powdered sugar to dust on top (optional)
  • Special equipment suggested: silicone baking cups and a *cookie dough scooper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and place your oven rack in the center. Line your muffin tin with your silicone baking cups or butter or spray (with a non-stick cooking spray) the bottom and sides of each muffin tin cup.
  • In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
  • In the bowl of your electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until softened (for about 1 minute). Add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and add in the vanilla extract.
  • With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture (in three additions) and milk (in two additions) alternating, starting and ending with the flour. Mix only until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries by hand using a rubber spatula.
  • *Scoop out the muffin batter and place into each baking cup and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes, remove from silicone baking cups, dust with some confectioners’ sugar and devour immediately.
