Instructions

Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, whisk 3/4 cup whole milk, 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, 2 tsp lemon zest, and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice until smooth.
Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 5: Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking dish and spread evenly.
Step 6: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
