Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups blueberries
- ¼ cup turbinado sugar or coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Spray a muffin pan with pan spray or line with liners and set aside.
- Add the sugar and lemon zest to a large bowl and use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until fragrant.
- Add the butter to the lemon sugar and beat with a hand mixer or a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk. Mix until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, and flour. Place the blueberries in a small bowl and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the flour mixture over them. Toss to coat the berries with flour.
- Add the remaining flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just barely combined. Fold in the blueberries by hand until evenly dispersed through the batter.
- Fill muffin tins ¾ of the way full and sprinkle the tops generously with coarse sugar. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out from the center with minimal crumbs and the top is golden brown. Let cool before serving.
