Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it lightly with oil.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, lightly beat the egg and add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter and bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Glaze: Allow muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack. Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice to prepare the glaze and drizzle over the muffins.
