**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
– 1 cup milk
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 cup fresh blueberries
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix everything until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much during mixing.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow space for the muffins to rise.
7. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve these Lemon and Blueberry Muffins warm or at room temperature for a delightful treat that everyone will enjoy. These muffins are perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or as a sweet addition to your afternoon tea.
