Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
In standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and granulated sugar 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, lemon zest, almond extract and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
Add flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix on low until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in blueberries.
Divide batter evenly between muffin cups and sprinkle tops with demerara sugar, if using. Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of muffins comes out clean. Cool muffins in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Home Chef Tip: If you want to keep the color of the berries from bleeding into your muffin crumb, roll the blueberries in a small spoonful of flour before adding them to the batter. This also keeps the berries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins while baking.
