01 -
225 g fresh blueberries, washed and dried off
02 -
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
03 -
2 teaspoons lemon zest from a big lemon
04 -
2 teaspoons baking powder
05 -
250 g plain flour
06 -
0.25 teaspoon sea salt
07 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 -
120 ml light olive or regular vegetable oil
09 -
240 g sour cream
10 -
200 g white sugar
11 -
2 large eggs at room temp
→ Lemon Glaze (optional)
12 -
0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
13 -
1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
14 -
120 g powdered sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
When your muffins have cooled down, pour the glaze over them. Let it set up before you dig in.
02 -
Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Stir until it’s smooth—if it’s too thick, use more lemon juice. Too runny? Shake in a little more sugar.
03 -
Take your muffins from the tin and place them on a rack. Let them cool down all the way to room temp.
04 -
Spoon the muffin batter right to the top of each liner. Slide the tray into the oven for 20–25 minutes at 200°C. Look for golden tops and a clean skewer in the middle.
05 -
With a spatula, gently fold in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and your blueberries. Don’t stir much—just until they’re spread throughout.
06 -
Add your flour mixture into the big wet bowl a third at a time. Gently stir it in each time with a spatula or whisk. Don’t keep mixing once it’s blended.
07 -
In another bowl, stir up the flour and baking powder.
08 -
Toss in the sour cream, oil, vanilla, and salt to the eggs and sugar. Use low on your mixer and don’t overdo it—just till it comes together.
09 -
Grab a big bowl and your mixer. Whip up the eggs and white sugar on high until they go pale and fluffy—plan for about 5 minutes.
10 -
Pop paper liners in a 12-hole muffin tray and heat your oven to 200°C.
# Notes:
01 -
Mix the batter super gently after adding flour. This gives your muffins a nice soft feel.
02 -
Change up the glaze by adding lemon juice if you want it runnier or more sugar if you like it thick.

The nutrition count doesn’t include the sweet glaze topping.
