Ingredients
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk at room temperature
- 2 cups fresh blueberries tossed in 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12 cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners or 6 cup jumbo muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- Transfer the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes. Mix in the lemon zest.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture alternating with the milk - do not overmix.
- In a separate bowl toss the blueberries in 1-2 teaspoons all-purpose flour. Gently fold blueberries into the muffin batter.
- Fill muffin liners with the prepared batter. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with sugar, if desired. Bake at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes before reducing temperature to 375 degrees F and baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove muffins from the tin and allow to cool before serving.
Notes
- Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw.
- For best results, bring the butter, eggs, and milk to room temperature. This allows the batter to mix together easily and evenly.
- If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, double the amount of lemon zest.
- When baking regular-size muffins, reduce overall cooking time by approximately 5 minutes.
