Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon flour (if using frozen blueberries)
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice, followed by the Greek yogurt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, toss them in flour before adding to the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- While the muffins cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins and let it set for about 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh blueberries and room-temperature ingredients. Toss blueberries in flour to prevent sinking, and allow muffins to cool completely before glazing.
