Bright & Zesty Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Muffins are a delightful morning treat, combining the sweet juiciness of blueberries with the bright tang of fresh lemons. These easy-to-make muffins are packed with Greek yogurt for moisture and protein, offering a nutritious and energizing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For an optional glaze, mix powdered sugar with a teaspoon of lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over cooled muffins.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using fresh lemon zest provides intense flavor without added acidity, while the juice adds the signature tartness.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
  • Overmixing the batter can result in dense muffins. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
  • For an optional glaze, whisk powdered sugar with a small amount of lemon juice to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
