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

3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the plain yogurt, melted butter, egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent color bleeding.

6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. Top with Sugar: Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with granulated sugar or turbinado sugar for a crunchy top.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• Freshness of Ingredients: For the best flavor, use freshly grated lemon zest and ripe, juicy blueberries.

• Yogurt Substitute: Greek yogurt can be substituted for plain yogurt if desired, but the texture may be slightly denser.

• Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
