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 unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for brightness)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
4. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the dry ingredients, ensuring they are evenly coated. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
5. Mix batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden and domed.
8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Expert Tips

• Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best, but if you’re using frozen, do not thaw them first. Toss them in a bit of flour to prevent bleeding.
• Buttermilk substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• High domes: For taller muffins, start baking at 400°F (200°C) for the first 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) for the remaining time.
• Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
