Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results, but frozen can be used without thawing. Lemon zest is essential for bright citrus flavor. Buttermilk can be substituted with a mixture of milk and lemon juice or vinegar.
