Ingredients
Wet ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup oil or melted butter for butter flavor
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup sugar
Dry ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Blueberries and topping:
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen (not thawed)
- 2 tablespoons sugar mixed with zest of 1 lemon
Notes
- I used fresh blueberries for this Blueberry Muffin recipe because they’re wonderfully seasonal, however, unthawed frozen blueberries work just as well.
- The base recipe for the muffin batter is what creates the tender, fluffy and light as air texture. Make sure to blend the batter but do not over mix it. Some lumps in the batter are ok, but there should be no visible pieces of dry ingredients.
- For a chocolate lover's version of this Blueberry Muffin recipe, you can substitute chocolate chips for the blueberries and skip the lemon topping.
- Notes: Substitute Chocolate Chips for the blueberries and omit the lemon sugar mixture for a variation on these blueberry muffins.
