A warm homemade blueberry muffin is one of my favorite things to have for breakfast. While I do not consider myself to be an expert baker, these muffins turn out perfect every time I make them. This recipe is very simple and it produces muffins that are just sweet enough, with a subtle hint of vanilla and lemon.
This recipe has several straightforward steps that if followed correctly will result in the perfect muffin every time. First, combine all the wet ingredients in a small bowl. Second, sift together all the dry ingredients and toss the blueberries into this mixture. This helps to keep the blueberries distributed throughout the muffin instead of them all sinking to the bottom. Finally, add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix to form a batter. The batter is much thicker than the batter from a premade box muffin mix which results in a moist and rich tasting muffin.
These homemade blueberry muffins can be warmed up or eaten cold. They will stay moist for about a week, that is if they last that long in your house!
