Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil
  • 2 tbsps sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 tbsp flour for coating blueberries

Lemon Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 1/2 tbsps fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, avocado oil, sour cream and eggs. Whisk with a wire whisk until well blended.

  2. Next, whisk in buttermilk.

  3. Add flour, baking soda, salt and lemon zest to the sugar mixture. Stir with a spoon until just moistened.

  4. Coat blueberries in 1/2 tablespoon flour. Then, fold the blueberries into the batter carefully. If you stir them in too much, you will have a purple tint to your muffins-don't do it.

  5. Fill 12 muffin cups with the batter.

  6. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes (ovens vary). Check with a toothpick to see if the batter is cooked through-toothpick will come out clean.

  7. While the muffins bake, make the glaze.

  8. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and fresh squeezed lemon juice until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.

  9. When the muffins are cooked-not over cooked, remove them from the oven and let them sit in the pan for 1-2 minutes.

  10. Remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack.

  11. Immediately coat each muffin with the glaze. Serve with eggs and/or fruit.
