    Lemon Blueberry Muffin Recipes

    Ingredients

    Muffin Base

    • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1/2 cup extra light olive oil (not extra virgin or vegetable oil)
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/4 tsp sea salt
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 tsp baking powder

    Lemon Zest

    • 2 tsp lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)

    Blueberries

    • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (rinsed and dried)
    • 2 tbsp melted butter (slightly cooled)
    • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
    • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup raw sugar

    Equipment Needed

    For this delicious lemon blueberry muffin recipe, you won’t need any fancy equipment. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

    • Measuring cups or a kitchen weighing scale for precision
    • A large mixing bowl, preferably a glass one for easy mixing

    Prep Work

    Before diving into making these delicious lemon blueberry muffins, there are a few key prep steps to ensure everything comes together seamlessly.

    Preparing the Blueberries

    To get the best results, it’s essential to prepare the blueberries correctly. If you’re using fresh blueberries, make sure to wash them thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. For frozen blueberries, you can use them straight from the freezer without thawing.

    Mixing the Dry Ingredients

    When it comes to mixing the dry ingredients, accuracy is key. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and a hint of cinnamon for warmth. Whisk everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed before moving on to the next steps in the recipe.

    Directions

    Let’s dive into the process of creating these delightful lemon blueberry muffins step by step.

    Mixing the Batter

    1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and a hint of cinnamon.
    2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients to pour in the wet mixture.

    Adding Blueberries and Lemon Zest

    1. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
    2. Sprinkle the vibrant lemon zest into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly distributed for that burst of citrus freshness in every bite.
    1. Line a muffin tin with paper liners for easy removal after baking.
    2. Fill each muffin cup with the prepared batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed for uniform muffins.

    Baking

    When it comes to baking these lemon blueberry muffins, achieving the perfect texture and flavor is key. Follow these essential steps for the best results.

    Oven Settings

    To ensure your muffins turn out just right, it’s crucial to pay attention to the oven settings. The initial high temperature of 450Β°F for 10 minutes helps set the outside of the muffins, preventing spreading and creating that beautiful domed top. After the initial baking, reduce the temperature to 375Β°F to allow the center to bake through while maintaining a tender crumb.

    Baking Time

    For the ideal texture and doneness, keep a close eye on the baking time. The 10-minute high-temperature bake followed by the lower temperature setting ensures a crispy crumb topping and perfectly baked centers with bursted blueberries throughout. Remember to thaw the blueberries before adding them to the batter to avoid extended baking times when using frozen berries.

    These guidelines will help you achieve bakery-style lemon blueberry muffins with sky-high tops and a delightful flavor profile.

    Optional Glaze Recipe

    Enhance your lemon blueberry muffins with a simple and delicious glaze. This optional addition adds a touch of sweetness and extra flavor to your already delightful treats.

    Ingredients for Glaze

    • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
    • 2-3 tablespoons water
    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.
    2. Add more water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired glaze consistency. It should be thick but pourable.
    3. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins for a finishing touch. Enjoy the added sweetness and presentation of your lemon blueberry muffins with this optional glaze.

    Serving and Storage

    When it comes to serving and storing your delicious lemon blueberry muffins, here are some tips to ensure they are enjoyed to the fullest:

    Best Serving Practices

    To enjoy these lemon blueberry muffins at their best, serve them warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness. These muffins also pair wonderfully with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of cold milk for a delightful treat any time of the day.

    Storage Recommendations

    For optimal freshness, store your leftover lemon blueberry muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. If you prefer to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm them in the microwave for a few seconds or oven at a low temperature to enjoy them as if they were freshly baked.

    Serving Lemon Blueberry Muffins

    Conclusion

    I hope this lemon blueberry muffin recipe has inspired you to get baking and enjoy the delightful combination of tangy lemon and juicy blueberries. Remember to follow the baking tips for perfect results, and don’t forget to try out the optional glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
