Servings: 12 Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon zest
- 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup of buttermilk*
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of Maine wild blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1/3 cup of Maine maple sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Line a muffin pan with paper liners and set it aside, if topping with maple sugar, it's also a good idea to spray the top of the muffin pan with a little cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and the sugar until well blended and pale yellow.
- Pour in the melted butter and whisk to combine. Lastly, add the buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla to the sugar mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated. The mixture will be very thin.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix the batter until almost fully combined. The batter should be lumpy with flour streaks showing still.
- Add the blueberries to the lumpy batter. Quickly and gently, fold the berries into the batter until the berries are evenly distributed and no flour streaks remain.
- Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups and sprinkle the muffin tops with maple sugar (if using).
- Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Serve these with a strong cup of coffee, and a pat of salty butter.
Notes
*Buttermilk substitute: In a liquid measuring cup, measure out 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Then just add enough milk to equal one cup. Let sit for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken and look curdled a little (don't worry!! That's what you want!). Then proceed with the recipe.
