Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 large lemon (zest and juice)

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: Lemon glaze (1 cup powdered sugar + 1-2 tbsp lemon juice)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Berries: If using fresh blueberries, rinse and pat dry. If using frozen, ensure they are thoroughly thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture in the batter.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

        Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

          Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be lumpy. Add the blueberries and fold gently to incorporate.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tins, filling each cup about ¾ full.

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

                Cool: Allow the muffin bites to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Optional Glaze: While the muffin bites are cooling, prepare the lemon glaze by mixing powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffin bites for an extra burst of lemon flavor.

                    Serve: Enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Muffin Bites as a delightful breakfast or snack!
