Perfectly fluffy blueberry muffins with crispy edges and a lemony vibe!
I love muffins; they are too cute and adorable! Of course, blueberry muffins are my favorite, but these lemon blueberry muffins are something else! I fell in love the first time I made them; then, I made them a few more times to add some fun touches. These muffins are moist, fluffy, and DELICIOUS! Just enough lemon to add a fresh flavor and a hint of white chocolate to complement the blueberry flavor beautifully!
Making Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Making these muffins is super quick and easy! However, there are a few tricks that are too important to skip:
- Unlike cupcakes, these muffins’ batter should be thick. This is because the blueberries add a lot of moisture to the cakes when they cook. So, you must ensure your batter is thick enough to support the moisture.
- Greek yogurt and milk add a beautiful flavor and texture to the muffins. However, if you substitute these, you may use half a cup of buttermilk. Please do not skip this step.
- Ensure your blueberries are rinsed and completely dry of water before adding them to the batter. Water doesn’t do well when mixed with the batter.
- Sprinkle your batter with some sugar before inserting them into the oven. This will add a lovely crisp to your muffins!
- Last, cook your muffins at a high temperature for a few minutes before bringing the temperature down for the remaining cooking time. I suggest preheating your oven to 425 F and cooking the muffins for 5 minutes. Next, reduce the temperature to 350 F and cook for 18 minutes. Do not open the oven door or move the baking sheet while cooking.

These muffins are perfect for tea parties and afternoon snacks. However, I love enjoying them at breakfast or Sunday brunch! I recommended serving the lemon blueberry muffins with a cup of vanilla or black current tea. YUM!

Other

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk almond milk and Greek yogurt and set aside.
