Name: Fluffy blueberry muffins with lemon – easy, quick and loved by kids and adults
Prep time: 45 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 360 g all-purpose flour; 240 g whole wheat flour; 180 g granulated sugar; 1½ teaspoons baking powder; ½ teaspoon baking soda; ½ teaspoon salt; ¼–½ teaspoon ground ginger; finely grated zest of 1 lemon; juice of ½ lemon; 240 ml buttermilk (cmaru); 120 ml vegetable oil; 2 eggs; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 470 g frozen blueberries (or fresh); 3–4 teaspoons granulated sugar for sprinkling the tops

Preparation procedure

Preparing the pan and oven Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Dry mixture In a large bowl sift/stir together both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger and lemon zest.
Wet mixture In a smaller bowl whisk the buttermilk with the lemon juice, oil, eggs and vanilla extract.
Combining the batter Pour the wet mixture into the dry and gently stir just until combined (do not mix for long, a few lumps are fine). Carefully fold in the blueberries.
Filling and baking Fill the liners almost to the top with batter, sprinkle the tops with sugar. Bake 20–25 minutes at 200 °C, or until a skewer comes out clean and the surface is golden.
Cooling Let the muffins sit in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack and let cool.

Tip: About 5 minutes before they finish baking you can raise the temperature by 10–20 °C for more pronounced “domes”. Conversely, if the tops are browning quickly, reduce the temperature by 10 °C.

Conclusion

Blueberry muffins with lemon and buttermilk are a safe bet: they smell wonderful, have a juicy center and, thanks to the sugar topping, a gently crunchy top. They stay soft even the next day – store covered at room temperature. You can vary them with other fruit (raspberries, currants, strawberries) or a handful of chopped almonds in the batter.
