# Needed Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
2 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1/3 cup granulated sugar
03 -
2 teaspoons baking powder
04 -
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 -
1 cup buttermilk
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
09 -
2 tablespoons lemon juice
10 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Add-Ins
11 -
1 tablespoon lemon zest
12 -
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan thoroughly with non-stick spray or melted butter, ensuring the entire surface and tops are coated to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully blended and aerated.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
04 -
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing as a few lumps are ideal for tender bites.
05 -
Toss blueberries with a spoonful of flour if desired, then fold blueberries and lemon zest evenly into the batter, mixing gently to avoid crushing the fruit.
06 -
Spoon batter into prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Use a small cookie scoop for even portioning and reduced mess.
07 -
Place the tray in the center of the oven. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
08 -
Remove pan from oven and let bites cool in the tin on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully lift the bites from the pan and allow to cool completely or serve warm as desired.
# Supplementary Details:
01 -
For best results, use room temperature eggs and buttermilk to help the batter mix evenly. Overmixing the batter will lead to denser bites, so mix just until incorporated.
02 -
Tossing blueberries with flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of each bite during baking.
