Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 6 mini loaf pans (or use paper liners) for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then, add the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) to the egg and mix until fully combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

          Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Loaf Pans: Divide the batter equally among the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.

              Bake: Place the filled pans in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the mini loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy your mini blueberry muffin loaves warm or at room temperature. They make a wonderful breakfast treat or a delightful snack!
