Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a muffin tin with liners or spray with nonstick spray.
- Combine sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl, pressing together until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the mixture.
- In the same bowl, add butter and cream the mixture with a hand or stand mixer. Add eggs, lemon juice, yogurt, avocado oil, and vanilla; mix until combined.

- In a medium bowl, mix remaining flour (1 ¾ cup), baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold gently until flecks of flour remain. Add the blueberries and mix until the flour disappears.
- Divide the batter into the muffin tin, which makes 16 muffins. Sprinkle reserved lemon sugar on top of each muffin.
- Bake in the oven at 425°F for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For optimal baking, ensure your oven is properly preheated.
Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure light and fluffy muffins.
You can substitute other fruits like raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor.
