Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or use paper liners.

Mix together buttermilk and cornmeal. Set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and eggs for about 2 minutes.

Whisk in the buttermilk mixture.

Stir in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Gently stir in the blueberries.

Divide batter between the 12 cups, almost to the brim.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes.

Recipe Notes
If you are using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw them first but you will probably have to bake them a few extra minutes.
