Crack eggs over the bowl with the wet ingredients, pour in the lemon zest and vanilla extract and fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones.
Coat blueberries with flour in a third bowl before pouring them into the mixture. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out some of the muffin batter and add it to a muffin pan.
Bake your muffins for up to 18 minutes at 400F. Serve the muffins while they are still warm, or allow them to cool before eating them or freezing them.
How to Store Your Healthy Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Storing the Healthy Lemon Blueberry Muffins is easy. First, allow your muffins to cool down while on a baking rack. Touch the muffins before putting them in an airtight container to make sure they are no longer hot. Place a sheet of paper towel inside a food storage container, layer your muffins on top of the paper towel, and close the container with a lid.
Leave your muffins on your kitchen table or store them in the fridge. They will stay fresh and good for up to five days. Freezing the Healthy Lemon Blueberry is an option. If placing the muffins in the freezer, you can keep them fresh and good for roughly six months.
