Blueberry Lemon Muffin Recipe
I love getting in the kitchen & coming up with new budget recipes. My kids really wanted muffins for Labor Day last week. They helped me make four different kinds. My eldest three children love to cook just as much as I do! My husband’s favorite muffins are blueberry muffins. We decided to make them with a twist by adding lemon to them. If you prefer plain blueberry muffins, you can just leave out the lemon juice & lemon zest. We loved the addition though! I usually use whole wheat flour in my muffins. They are slightly denser, but we still enjoy them. I wrote out the recipe with all purpose flour, but you can easily substitute with whole wheat flour. I used the blueberries that we have frozen from our summer organic garden! Yummy!
