INGREDIENTS

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice, 2 lemons
  • 1/2 teaspoons vanilla or almond extract
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup blueberries

GLAZE

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2-1 Tablespoon lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Fill cupcake pan with liners, or use cooking spray to grease them.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, egg, sugar, juice, vanilla, lemon zest and sour cream.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients into the large bowl and stir until smooth. Fold in blueberries.
  4. Fill cupcake liners with batter about 2/3 the way full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove muffins from pan and allow to cool.
  5. To make glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle over muffins.

TIPS FOR THE BEST LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

  • Use fresh blueberries. Trust me, this makes all the difference. They taste amazing and burst with fresh flavor.
  • Sour cream. This is the secret to super moist muffins! The extra fat content makes them so soft and gives them a rich flavor.
  • Lemon zester. Use a zester to easily and quickly zest your lemon.
  • Don’t overfill. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 of the way full. If you fill any further, the muffins will overflow.
  • Before baking, add a few extra fresh blueberries in each muffin cup. This will make your muffins look extra pretty. 🙂
  • Let cool. Make sure the muffins have cooled completely before drizzling with the glaze. You don’t want it to melt!
