Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups plain yogurt
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons lemon zest
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, plain yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s fine for the batter to be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.

Step 6

Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your zesty blueberry muffins!
