Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the Schmand, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
-
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these Schmand Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. Simply thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave if desired.
