🍽 Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Melted unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups Fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crucial for evenly baked muffins. Don't skip this step!
2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. This will make cleanup a breeze and help the muffins to keep their shape. If you dont' have liners, make sure to grease your muffin tin really well.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to get rid of any lumps! Whisk those little guys away!
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. This is your wet ingredients crew, combining them in a separate bowl keeps the batter from getting clumpy. Trust me on this one!
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don't overmix! A few lumps are okay; overmixing will make your muffins tough. We aim for a slightly lumpy, well-mixed batter.
6. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon juice. Be gentle! We don't want to smush all those beautiful blueberries.
7. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full. We need room for those babies to rise and have their muffin moment.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on your muffins. It’s ok to check earlier to make sure they aren’t getting too dark.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Impatient? I get it, but letting them cool properly prevents them from getting soggy.
10. Once cool, drizzle with lemon glaze (recipe below) if desired. This adds another layer of lemony goodness that is just divine!

📝 Notes

• For the lemon glaze: Whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
• Make sure your blueberries are fresh and not frozen.
• You can use different types of berries or even add chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor
