I have tried so many times to make muffins - but for some reason, every recipe I've used before yields a very sad, dense muffin. I came to the conclusion that for some reason, muffins just aren't my forte.
That is, until I tried this recipe from my biggest blog inspiration - LEAFtv.
FINALLY, a fluffy muffin! Honestly, none of their recipes ever disappoint.
{ And of course, I love their videos. }
These muffins are ultra delicious & super quick to throw together.
{ They don't even require an electric mixer! }
Just combine the dry ingredients - flour, salt, & baking powder - in a large bowl. Form a small well in the center { where your wet ingredients will go. }
In a smaller bowl,
cream your butter and sugar together with a fork.
Then whisk in the egg until smooth.
Next, mix in the vanilla, milk, & lemon zest until combined.
Pour this wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients, and stir just until the batter comes together.
Finally, dust your blueberries lightly with flour - so they don't sink to the bottom of the batter - and fold them into the muffin mix.
Grease a muffin tin with butter or coconut oil, and spoon in the batter with an ice cream scoop.
Sprinkle each with a cinnamon & sugar mixture before popping them into the oven at
400 F for 15 minutes.
While the muffins bake, melt & stir together the glaze ingredients - butter, lemon juice, and sugar.
Glaze each muffin immediately after they come out of the oven and pop them back in for about 3 minutes, just until the glaze hardens up.
And that's it!
Warm, fluffy, & lemony blueberry muffins are ready for your breakfast table.
