How To Make Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Recipe Tips and Instructions
Tip 1: While this recipe is absolutely delicious with fresh blueberries, you can certainly use frozen blueberries too. Hopefully, you were able to stock up freeze blueberries that you bought at your local farmers market to last through the winter months. I love to freeze blueberries to use during the winter months in muffins, cobblers, and crisps.
Tip 2: As will all muffins and quick breads, don’t over mix the batter.
Tips 3: This recipe has a bright lemon flavor, be sure to use fresh lemon zest 
Tip 4: These Lemon blueberry muffins freeze well, so make a double batch and keep them in your freezer. Pull some out when you need your lemon blueberry muffin fix.
