Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. (5 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. (3 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. (2 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. (5 minutes)

07

Step
25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly pressed. (25 minutes)

08

Step
15 mins

Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes before glazing. (15 minutes)

09

Step
5 mins

While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, melted butter, hot water, vanilla extract, and the remaining lemon zest until smooth. (5 minutes)

10

Step
20 mins

Once the muffins are slightly cooled, dip the tops into the lemon glaze. Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes. Dip a second time for a thicker coating. (20 minutes)

For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them and turning the batter blue.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling it with milk to the 1-cup line. Let stand for 5 minutes before using.
These muffins are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

    The muffins were a little dense. Next time, I'll be careful not to overmix the batter.
