Ingredients:

½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup white granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract, divided
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup whole milk + 2-3 Tbsp for glaze
¼ cup lemon juice
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup powdered sugar

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While preheating the oven, line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and prep the batter.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer.

Add the eggs and half of the vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and homogenous.
Add the milk and lemon juice and beat again until it is fully incorporated into the runny mixture.

Add the baking powder and flour. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth and homogenous.

Gently fold in the blueberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the muffin batter.

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to fill each of the 12 liners with batter and bake the muffins for 24 minutes.

While the muffins are baking, prep the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, remaining vanilla, and remaining milk until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze on top of the muffins as they come out of the oven, serve, and enjoy!

Tips Tricks and FAQs

Be sure to use fresh blueberries. Frozen blueberries will alter the muffin mix and cause the muffins not to bake properly.
Don’t overmix the batter; you want the batter to be lumpy. If you overmix the batter your muffins will become dense.
If you love lemon and want more lemon flavor, you can add lemon zest to the glaze. You can also add it to the muffin batter if you prefer, but I prefer the amount of flavor you get from just the lemon juice in this recipe.
Don’t have blueberries on hand? Try making these with fresh raspberries or strawberries.

Storage

You can store these muffins in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature. They will keep for about 1 week

Can you freeze lemon blueberry muffins?

Once baked and cooled, these will freeze nicely. Place them in a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 3 months.

When you are ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature.
