Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups ground flaxseed
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.33 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 cups fresh blueberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use an electric mixer for best results.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 7

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.

Step 8

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
