Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest (if using).
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Top with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra crunch, you can add a streusel topping.
These muffins freeze well; wrap them individually and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
