  • Spatula
  • Microplane or zester
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • For the Muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

  • For the Lemon Glaze Optional:

Instructions

  • Prepare for Baking:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Stir in the yogurt, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Fill the Muffin Tin:
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Bake the Muffins:
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Lemon Glaze (Optional):
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled muffins.
