Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners. You can also use a silicone muffin pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the wet ingredients. Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Be careful not to over mix. Use a spatula (instead of a whisk) to gently stir together until all the flour is wet. The less you stir the mixture, the lighter and fluffier your muffins will be.
Gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest.
Divide batter evenly into 10 muffin cups and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the inserted toothpick in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup rather than scooping the flour out of the container or bag with your measuring cup.
Take all the cold ingredients out of the refrigerator at least 15 minutes prior to baking. These include yogurt, milk, applesauce, and maple syrup.
After combining the dry and wet ingredients, do NOT over-mix the muffin batter.
