How to Make Blueberry Cornbread Muffins
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or butter (or line muffin cups with parchment muffin liners); set aside.
In a 2 cups liquid measuring cup, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and enough milk to fill it to the ¾ cup line. Stir and let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature; it will curdle slightly, thicken, and be ready to use.
Combine the dry ingredients into a large bowl; toss in the blueberries to coat; this will keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom. Whisk together the egg, vanilla, lemon zest, milk mixture, melted butter, and oil in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, careful not to overmix the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup very full—Bake for 28 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool the Blueberry Cornbread Muffins in the pan for a few minutes, then serve warm with butter or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
