Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

Zest of 1 large lemon

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

⅓ cup buttermilk

1 cup fresh blueberries (can substitute with frozen)

2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and lemon juice until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, fill each mini muffin cup about ⅔ full with the batter.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the muffins are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool Down: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffin bites to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your zesty lemon blueberry bites!
