Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with grease or paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, lemon verbena, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until the lemon verbena is finely chopped. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with the butter in pea-sized pieces. (7 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the flour mixture to a large bowl. Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. (20 minutes)

07

Step

Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For the best flavor, use fresh lemon verbena. If unavailable, you can substitute with lemon zest, but the flavor will be slightly different.
Gently fold in the blueberries to prevent them from bursting and bleeding into the batter.
Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in tough muffins. Mix until just combined.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

    These are fantastic! I made a few substitutions (used almond flour instead of all-purpose) and they still turned out great!
