Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Blueberry Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, mix the plant-based milk, oil, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the blueberries carefully.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to ensure muffins are fluffy. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
