Blueberry Lemon Muffins bursting with fresh blue berries, a light lemon flavor tucked in the fluffiest muffin! The ULTIMATE breakfast/ brunch muffin!

Fresh blueberries bright lemon zest, all tucked in an incredibly light muffin. These beautiful blueberry lemon muffins are my favorite way to finish off a pint of blueberries. They aren’t too sweet or dense, still fluffy, light, and packed with flavor, The lemon is my favorite addition to an otherwise above average blueberry muffin.

I consider lemons a pantry staple and always have a few on hand ready to slice and  toss in a glass of water, add to fresh seafood, or to bake with of course!

Muffins are something I typically make at the beginning of the week for my daughter or as a sweet treat for Game Day brunch.
