Blueberry and Lemon Muffins
(Makes 10)
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Scales
- Cupcake tin or baking tin
- Butter knife
- Cupcake cases or baking parchment
- Spatula
- Grater
- Metal spoon
Ingredients
- 150g butter
- 150g caster sugar
- 150g self-raising flour
- 3 large eggs
- Splash of vanilla extract
- 1 punnet of blueberries (200g approx.)
- 1 lemon
Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a cupcake tray with cupcake cases. If you don’t have a cupcake tray, line a baking tin with parchment paper.
- Firstly, add the butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until the butter and sugar is smooth and combined.
- Then, crack the eggs into the bowl and mix in with the butter mixture.
- Next, add the self-raising flour and stir until the muffin batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Grate the lemon into the batter and then toss in the blueberries. Mix until they are evenly distributed.
- With a metal spoon, add 2 even scoops of the mixture into each of the cupcake cases. If you are using a baking tin pour all of the mixture into the tin. Place in the oven for approximately 12-16 minutes or until a knife comes out of the muffins clean, with no batter on. If you are using a baking tin cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Finally leave to cool for 20 minutes before enjoying. (image)
If you want to mix things up, consider sprinkling a small amount of brown sugar on top to make your muffins sweeter or swap out blueberries for any fruit that takes you fancy – chunks of apple work well.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week or frozen for up to a month.
