These blueberry muffins boast a moist crumb, are brimming with juicy blueberries, and topped with a crunchy layer of turbinado sugar for a bakery-style finish. It's an easy recipe that promises tender, delicious muffins every single time—truly the BEST Blueberry Muffin Recipe you'll ever try!
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cups and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, blueberries, and lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, eggs, vanilla, oil, and buttermilk.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until just combined. Be sure not to overmix the batter. Having a few lumps or streaks of flour in the batter is okay!
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling a little more than ¾ full. Sprinkle each muffin top with turbinado sugar.
Bake for 5 minutes at 450°F. Without opening your oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out with just a couple of crumbs.
Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
