Steps:
- For the Cupcakes:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a cupcake pan with twelve paper baking cups, or grease the pan with butter if not using baking cups.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt on a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
- Combine the milk and vanilla extract in a large liquid measuring cup.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 3 to 5 minutes, until it is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition.
- Slowly add one third of the dry ingredients followed by one third of the milk mixture. Mix slowly, and then add another third of the dry ingredients, followed by one third of the milk. Mix slowly until incorporated. Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed. Then, finally, add the last third of the dry ingredients, followed by the last third of the milk. Mix slowly until fully incorporated.
- Add the lemon juice and lemon zest, and mix slowly.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Using a standard-size ice-cream scoop, scoop the batter into the cupcake pan until each well is two-thirds full and bake for 16 to 18 minutes (start checking at 15 minutes).
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the Citrus Glaze:
- Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a small bowl, and heat in a small saucepan on low heat until fully incorporated. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour glaze over each cupcake and enjoy!

I made this tasty and refreshing blueberry lemonade with Truvia® so as to make it a low-calorie drink. But feel free to use sugar or any choice sweetener.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries. If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen blueberries can be used instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- If you don't have lemon zest, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract instead.
- Be sure to whisk the cornstarch and sugar together until there are no lumps before adding it to the boiling water. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming lumpy.
- If you like a thicker sauce, you can add more cornstarch. Just be sure to add it a little at a time, whisking constantly, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Serve the blueberry lemon sauce warm over pancakes, waffles, or French toast. It can also be used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Blueberry lemon sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used for a variety of desserts. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give blueberry lemon sauce a try.
