Description

These lemon blueberry muffins are bursting with juicy blueberries and fresh lemon zest; the addition of sour cream guarantees they'll be moist and tender.

Ingredients

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup melted butter
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
2 Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
3 Combine sugar, milk, sour cream, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until blended. Fold in the flour mixture until batter is just moistened. Fold in blueberries; avoid overmixing because batter will turn purple.
4 Fill muffin cups 3/4 full of batter.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
