Who doesn’t love a great blueberry muffin? As we tested the highest rated muffin recipes online, we found that most recipes did one or two things really well. Some muffins had a great flavor, but were a bit dry. Others had a crispy muffin top, but a bland batter. We took the best parts from each recipe to create the PERFECT blueberry muffin recipe.
How can we be sure these are the best? We made 7 different recipes and almost 100 muffins to get to this point. To see our full comparison, check out our article.
These muffins turn out perfectly moist and flavorful – getting much of their sweetness from lemon zest rather than just adding more sugar. We highly suggest cooking this recipe as-is, without any modifications. Use fresh blueberries if you can, but if not then frozen is fine.
