Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 and line 2 muffin tins with muffin cases.
Step 2:
In a bowl, combine the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and chia seeds.
Step 3:
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, oil, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
Step 4:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined, but don’t over-mix! Fold in almost all of the blueberries (about 1 cup).
Step 5:
Fill the muffin cases three-quarters full with the batter. Scatter the remaining blueberries on top of the muffins and gently press down. Place in the centre of the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown in colour.
Step 6:
Once baked, place on a cooling rack and leave to cool.
