Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with a paper liner. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir blueberries and cornstarch until they are well coated. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk freshly squeezed lemon juice, almond milk, olive oil, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Set aside for a few minutes until it looks curdled.
In another large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Combine the dry ingredients with the liquid ingredients until the batter is smooth and no lumps of flour can be seen.
Fold in the coated blueberries and stir until just combined. Don't over-mix the batter to avoid gummy muffins.
Fill the 12 muffin holes evenly.
Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce to 350°F (180°C) and keep baking for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and set in the center. Insert a toothpick in the middle of one muffin to check. If clean, they are ready to remove from the oven.
Cool down for 5 minutes on the muffin tin, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely at room temperature.
Lemon Glazing
When the muffins are cooled, prepare the lemon glaze.
In a small bowl, stir powdered sugar, lemon juice -and lemon zest. If too thick, thin it out with more lemon juice. To thicken, add more powdered sugar.
Drizzle the lemon glaze on top of the cooled blueberry muffins and add a pinch extra lemon zest if you like.
Refrigerate to set the glazing.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freeze the muffin for up to 1 month in zip-lock bags and thaw at room temperature the day before.
