Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

⅔ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup buttermilk

2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if out of season)

Zest of 1 lemon (for an extra burst of flavor)

1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Make sure the mixture is well combined and free of lumps.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth. Then add in the lemon zest for a bright flavor boost.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the muffin batter.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the coarse sugar on top of each muffin batter to create a lovely crispy crust.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Enjoy: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
