Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if not available)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to incorporate all dry ingredients evenly.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined. If using, stir in the lemon zest for an extra zesty flavor.

        Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in the blueberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

                Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
