Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Yellow or White Cake Mix (approximately 15.25 oz)
- ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
- 2 Large Eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 cup Milk (any kind)
- ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ cups Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, extra all-purpose flour, and optional granulated sugar. Whisk together until well-combined.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the room temperature eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. If using lemon zest, add it here as well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. It's okay if there are a few small lumps.
- Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds to three-quarters full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
