Blueberry Lemon Surprise Muffins

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of vanilla yogurt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (divided)
  • Lemon curd
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 

Lightly spoon 2 cups of flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. 

Combine flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center of the mixture. 

In a separate bowl, combine lemon juice, oil, vanilla, yogurt, and egg; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moist. 

Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries. Spoon half of the batter into a muffin tray that has been coated with cooking spray. 

Add a small spoonful of lemon curd then top the muffins with the remaining batter. 

Divide the remaining 1/2 cup of blueberries between the muffins; sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the muffins.
  
Bake for 17-19 minutes or until the tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove muffins from the pan immediately and place them on a wire rack to cool. 

Slather with butter and enjoy.
