Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for a citrusy twist)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the dry ingredients, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins fluffy. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
