Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour + 1/2 tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen- If using frozen, DO NOT thaw it)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450℉.
  • Prepare 12 muffin tins by lining them with liners.
  • Over a large bowl, using a sieve, sift the dry ingredients- 2 cups all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In another bowl, add the eggs and the sugar and mix well until all the sugar combines.
  • To the egg mixture, add the following - oil, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients and gently fold until no more flour can be seen. DO NOT OVERMIX.
  • To the blueberries, add 1/2 tablespoon all purpose flour and coat them. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Now take the flour coated blueberries and add them to the muffin batter. Stir gently or the blueberries may burst.
  • Pour the batter equally into the muffin tins.
  • Additionally you can add a few blueberries (2-3) on the top and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon sugar too (this will give a nice caramelized top).
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Then REDUCE the oven temperature to 375℉ (without opening the oven door or removing the tins) and continue baking  for additional 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin. Then remove the muffins from the muffin tin and allow them to further cool on a cooling rack (this will prevent them from becoming dry).
  • Enjoy!
