Ingredients

• 2 cups flour-divided
• 3/4 cup sugar-divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 lemon-zested and juiced
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with papers or spray with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the baking powder and salt. Add the butter and combine. In a second bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla and one tablespoon lemon juice. Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined; the batter will be lumpy. Toss the blueberries and lemon zest with the remaining flour in a bowl. Gently fold the berry mixture into the batter.
3. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
