Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 large lemon

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

          Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them up too much.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about 3/4 full with batter.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

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

                  Dust with Sugar (Optional): Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

                    Serve and Enjoy: These muffin bites are perfect warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a delightful snack or breakfast!
