Hello muffin lemon lovers! How was your weekend?

If you know me, you know for sure how I feel for lemon desserts. They are my second love. This is first! Even I never thought I’d say that.

Also I am a sucker for summer time muffins! You need to check out all my easy muffins recipes!

Now when you mix some berries in muffins, you are probably gonna have to hide your muffins from me. Or else don’t blame me later!

Recipe Ingredients:

• Blueberries: I just love how the blueberries change color and get all shiny after they bake and burst. You may use fresh/frozen berries for this recipe.Blueberries even get sweeter and their fruity juices get mixed in the lemony muffins as they bake! Certainly, nothing beats this combination on the planet.
• Yogurt: Yogurt makes your muffins super soft without adding too many calories like sour cream does.
• Oil: Oil will make super moist muffins. And you won’t even miss butter in these lemony muffins.
• Dry Ingredients: Sift all the dry ingreidnts over wet. This step yields lighter textured muffins.

How to make lemon blueberry muffins:

These lemon and blueberry muffins are so easy to make. No complex tricks involved! Very few simple ingredients. Also just one mixing bowl and 5 minutes preparation from that busy day of yours! There you have it.

So, how do we do it?

1. First off, combine all the wet ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. Then sift your dry ingredients over wet ones, fold in with a spatula.
3. Now quickly coat blueberries in some flour. This step is to prevent berries from sinking in and collecting at the bottom.
4. Fold them in gently. If you plan to use frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them first.
5. Finally, bake!!!

Taste & texture:

So before I say anything else, look at this! ↓

It is not a blueberry muffin, if not a ton of blueberries explode in your mouth. Yes, I meant in almost every single bite.

Well distributed juicy blueberries in a bright and refreshing sweet citrusy lemon muffin! These lemon and blueberry muffins are so soft, moist and light that you might call these cupcakes. But these aren’t missing their muffin component either. They are so hearty!

We are making lemon blueberry muffins with yogurt and oil to make them extra moist. And there is no dry crumb in sight!

Also just enough lemon zest and juice for that balanced sweet-tart flavor. Not too tangy too wrinkle your eyes. Just enough for that light, fresh and sweet citrus taste.

Moist, glossy and shining happily on the top lemon blueberry muffins for you! ⇑ ⇑ ⇑

These bake almost like jumbo muffins:

These are very large muffins baked by filling muffin liners to the brim. No, your muffins won’t convert into a yellow lemon lava in your oven.

Because, initially we are setting our oven to a high temperature, so that these rise all the way to the top. Finally lower the temperature to let them bake well on the inside!

Did you notice that dome on the top? I call it mushroom top. 😉

How do you store fresh blueberry muffins?

I like to store my lemon blueberry muffins at room temperature, laying a paper towel underneath them. And one on their top to soak additional moisture. Cover tightly.

How do you make muffins fluffy?  

• By never over beating the batter
• Adding just the right amount of leaveners and making sure they are fresh
• Measuring your flour accurately

Why did my muffins come out so dense?

• The batter was over beaten
• You accidentally added too much flour
• The leaveners were expired

Can you store muffins in the fridge?

Of course you can! And for muffins with fresh fruits and berries, I only keep them at room temp for a day or so. For longer storage (up to 5 days) it is recommended to store muffins in the fridge covered tightly all the time. Wrap muffins in foil before putting in an air tight container to lock moisture in.

And you certainly don’t have to like lemons to like these muffins. The tangy taste of lemon just disappears in the bake somewhere. And a sensational fruity depth of flavor is produced, that you’d want to live for!
