These moist lemon blueberry muffins combine bright lemon zest and juice with juicy blueberries for a tender, flavorful treat perfect for breakfast or brunch. Easy to make with simple pantry ingredients and wrapped fresh to lock in moisture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
  • Zest of 2 medium lemons
  • ¼ cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment or paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
  5. Fold in the blueberries gently to keep them whole.
  6. Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, wrap each muffin individually in parchment paper or plastic wrap to keep moist and fresh.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Toss blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding to prevent sinking. Wrap muffins only after fully cooled to avoid sogginess. For extra moistness, substitute half the butter with Greek yogurt.
