Mile-High Blueberry Muffins

By hmorris31

Ingredients

• 2 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 Cup sugar
• 1 1/2 Tsp baking powder
• 1/2 Tsp baking soda
• 1/2 Tsp salt
• 2/3 Cup plain yogurt
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 Tbsp melted unsalted butter
• 2 Tsp grated lemon zest
• 1 Cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries
• 1/2 Cup whole milk

Preparation

Step 1

Make sure the oven rack is in the center position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Line a 12-muffin tin with muffin-tin liners
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium mixing bowl
Sifting is cool-you can put all the dry ingredients into the sifter at once and then just shake or crank.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, butter and lemon zest.
Add the dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture and whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the blueberries into the batter, again being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake in the oven until puffed up and golden brown, about 20-22 minutes.
Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the muffins from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
