Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Share
There’s just something about lemon and blueberry together that feels bright, cheerful, and a little like sunshine in the kitchen.
These Lemon Blueberry Muffins are soft, tender, and full of fresh citrus flavor, with bursts of sweet blueberry in every bite. They’re the kind of muffin that feels just right for breakfast, brunch, an afternoon coffee break, or honestly, any time you want something homemade and comforting.
What makes these muffins especially lovely is the combination of Lemon Premium Olive Oil and Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar. The olive oil gives the muffins a wonderfully moist texture, while the balsamic adds a bright lemony note that deepens the citrus flavor without overpowering it.
I love recipes like this because they feel simple, but the flavor is a little more special than expected. The batter comes together easily, and once the frozen blueberries and lemon zest are folded in, you know something good is on the way.
As they bake, the kitchen fills with that sweet lemon aroma that makes it hard to wait for them to cool.
These muffins are soft and fluffy with golden tops, and the blueberries bring little pockets of sweetness throughout. They’re lovely served warm, but they’re just as good the next day if you happen to have any left.
If you’ve been looking for a lemon blueberry muffin recipe with bright flavor and a tender crumb, this one is definitely worth keeping on hand.
It’s a simple recipe, but one that feels fresh, happy, and easy to share.

Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon sea salt
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
4 eggs

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla on high speed until the mixture is frothy, pale, and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar and milk and continue beating for 1 minute.
Turn off the mixer and slowly drizzle in the Lemon Premium Olive Oil.
Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in the frozen blueberries and lemon zest.
Fill the muffin cups three-quarters full.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
