Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, egg, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake 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 pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense muffins. For an extra touch, consider adding a streusel topping before baking.
