Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.
  3. 3
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and lemon zest until well combined.
  4. 4
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. 5
    Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  6. 6
    Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. 7
    Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. 8
    While muffins cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Add more lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, until a smooth, pourable consistency is reached.
  9. 9
    Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, frozen blueberries work great! Do not thaw them before folding into the batter to prevent them from bleeding too much color.

How can I store these muffins?

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.

What if I don't have poppy seeds?

You can omit them entirely, or substitute with a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor in the batter if you prefer not to use poppy seeds.
