- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
Cooking Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the wet ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough, dense muffins.
- Use a light hand when folding in the blueberries and poppy seeds to avoid crushing them.

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, lemon zest, and poppy seeds.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
