Goodmorning! Blueberry Muffins

breakfast, recipes

Ah yes, one of my favorite breakfast treats. Served to you from me!

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl and mix together.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, butter, lemon zest, and eggs.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mix with a fork just until blended!
  • Fold the blueberries into the batter. Don’t over mix! With a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice-cream scoop or large spoon, scoop the batter into the prepared cups, filling them almost full.
  • Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.

MY FAVORITE ADD ON!

When making muffins, right before putting them into the oven:

  • Mix together granulated & brown sugar.
  • Put a small spoonful on top of each muffin.
  • Once out of the oven, you’ll have a perfect layer of sugar on top of the fluffy blueberry muffins!
