Light, fluffy muffins bursting with fresh blueberries and bright lemon zest, perfect for a cozy morning breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula just until combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
  5. Toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour, then carefully fold them into the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Use fresh lemon zest for best flavor. Room temperature ingredients improve texture. Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
