Classic Blueberry muffins are baked using blueberries as the main ingredient. The blueberries are usually combined with other ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and oil to make fluffy and moist muffins. They soft, moist and have a light, fluffy texture that is perfect for breakfast or as a snack. The tangy flavor in blueberries makes the muffins melt in your mouth, literary and invite you for another bite.
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a muffin tin with cooking oil/spray or line with paper liners.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add sugar and lemon zest and whisk to mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter/oil, milk and lemon juice.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
Coat the blueberries with 1 tbsp of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly mixed.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin ensuring that it's evenly filled among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. I use an ice cream scoop to do this.
Step 3:
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tins, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving with tea, coffee or as a snack.
