Cost: $4.75 Recipe, $0.40 per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon for muffin tops
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 ounces fresh or frozen blueberries about 1 cup frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large measuring cup, add vegetable oil and large egg. Add enough milk so the liquid reaches the 1-cup mark (approximately 1/3 to ½ cup milk total).
- Add vanilla extract and lemon zest to the measuring cup and whisk until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
- Fold in blueberries (about 1 cup) using a spatula or spoon.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about halfway full.
- Sprinkle the remaining granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
