These blueberry swirl muffins are so delicious and bursting with blueberry flavor! The lemon sugar sprinkled on top is the perfect addition. The beautiful swirl is from a quick homemade blueberry jam that is so easy to make! I love serving these muffins for breakfast or brunch. They are also really delicious warm with vanilla bean ice cream on the side!
Ingredients:
-1 cup fresh blueberries
-5 tablespoons of butter- melted and cooled
-2 eggs
-1/2 cup of oat milk
-1/2 cup of greek vanilla bean yogurt
-1/2 cup of granulated sugar
-2 cups of flour
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blueberry Jam:
-1 cup fresh blueberries
-1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Lemon Sugar:
-1/3 cup white sugar
-1 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (I used 2 lemons)
Next Step:
-On the stovetop on medium heat add the blueberries and sugar. As they heat up use a masher to burst the blueberries. Continue to stir and you will see the jam come together and thicken. Simmer on low for 5-8 minutes until it has thickened and reduced. Pour into a glass container to let cool.
-Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a muffin tray with liners. I like to use silicone liners.
-In a small bowl combine the butter and sugar and mix with a hand or stand mixer.
-Then add in the eggs and mix.
-Next add in the oat milk, yogurt, and vanilla and mix until combined.
-In a separate bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
-Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix. Your batter will be thick.
-Fold in the blueberries.
-Fill each muffin to the top.
-Then take a teaspoon of the cooled blueberry jam and place it on top of each muffin.
-With a wood skewer or a toothpick blend the blueberry jam into the muffin. I like to do it in a figure eight pattern. Set aside.
-To make the lemon sugar topping, zest 2 lemons to make a teaspoon and a half of lemon zest. Add the lemon zest to 1/3 cup of sugar and mix with your hand to incorporate all of the zest.
-Sprinkle the lemon sugar over the muffins.
-Bake for 20 minutes or until a fork inserted comes out clean.
-Let sit for 10 minutes.
-ENJOY!!!
