Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups buttermilk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)
• 1 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)

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 non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. If you're using lemon zest, add it into this mixture for a hint of brightness.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter looks slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using blueberries, fold them into the batter gently so they don’t break and bleed into the mixture.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair perfectly with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
