Blueberry Lemon Muffins
This recipe makes ridiculously soft muffins with sharp bursts of blueberry flavour. They’re a little sweet but not too sweet.
You Will Need
This may seem like a lot but it really wasn’t – I already had everything in my kitchen with the exception of the blueberries.
Wet ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine/butter, melted
- 1 egg
- dash of vanilla extract
- 1 lemon
- 1cup (ish) Plain Yogurt – I added a bit more than 1 cup; it’s sort of a loose guideline.
- 3/4 cups of white sugar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
Dry ingredients
- A bit of raw sugar, for sprinkling on top (optional but totally worth it.)
- 3 cups minus 2 tablespoons flour (I know, this was annoying for me to measure but I stole this part from a different recipe & didn’t want to deviate…)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- pinch of salt
- dash of nutmeg
- 2ish cups of blueberries
Prep
- Preheat oven to 385°
- Muffins take about 20 minutes to bake
- Made 17 muffins for me, so expect around that number.

Step One – Wet Ingredients
Melt butter in microwave and then add all wet ingredients & mix together.
For the lemon, grate the skin to get that delicious lemon zest & then cut the lemon in half. I squeezed half the lemon juice into the wet ingredients & saved the other half to use with something else.
Step Two – Dry Ingredients
Mix together dry ingredients with the exception of the blueberries.
Step Three – Merge!
Add dry to wet, stir together with as few stirs as possible. If you find the batter is tough, you can add a dash of milk to moisten it. Then add the blueberries – try to mix them in gently without breaking them open.
Step Four – Bake
Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into a muffin pan. Sprinkle top of each muffin with raw sugar, and maybe squish in a few blueberries on top if you have extras. I baked mine for about 20 minutes, although it could take a bit longer.

If you love lemony taste, I would recommend more lemon. I think if I were to make these muffins again (I probably will!) I would definitely use a touch more lemon.
