    Blueberry Lemon MuffinsBlueberry and lemon were made to be together, and these Blueberry Lemon Muffins make a perfect team. While I LOVE a classic blueberry muffin, the pop of citrus paired with sweet blueberry adds a fresh zing I can't resist! How many of these delicious, bright blueberry lemon muffins can I eat in a day? The limit does not exist.

    Should You Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries?

    Either! This recipe is super flexible. I have baked with fresh and frozen blueberries and they both work great. I used frozen for this recipe because it's what I had on hand. If you're using frozen I recommend carefully rinsing them under cold-room temp water. This will help to keep your batter from turning purple and it takes the chill off the blueberries.

    Here’s How to Make the BEST Blueberry Lemon Muffins:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F with convection and line (or grease) muffin tins.
    • In a large bowl (or stand mixer), whisk together softened cream cheese, sugar, milk, eggs, fresh lemon zest, lemon juice, extracts, sea salt and baking powder until well combined. Gradually add your flour followed by vegetable oil.

    • Once all the above ingredients are combined add [most of] your blueberries to the mix. Gently stir them in so they don't burst and save a few to place them on top before they go in the oven!
    • Fill muffin cups ¾ of the way up with batter so they have room to grow.
    • Sprinkle a few blueberries on top followed by a thin even coat of raw sugar. YUM
    • Bake until muffins are golden brown (about 30-35 minutes, but this varies).
