Nice and lemony - a great breakfast muffin. I love that it uses frozen berries, as I stock up on fresh blueberries when they are on sale and I freeze them for recipes just like this one.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups baking mix
  • 3/4 cup natural cane sugar
  • 2 lemons, zest only

  • 1 cup milk

How To Make lemony blueberry muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the baking mix, sugar, and lemon zest to combine. Add the butter pieces and mix into the baking mix with fingers (or pastry cutter) until you get a sandy-looking mix.
  • Step 3
    Separately, beat the egg and milk together until mixed well. Add the milk mixture to the flour mix and mix until just combined.
  • Step 4
    Gently fold in the berries. Fill each muffin cup with 1/3 cup of the batter. Sprinkle the sugar over the top of each. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick, inserted into the middle, comes out clean.
  • Step 5
    Allow muffins to sit for a few minutes - then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Or you can eat them while warm with a cup of tea or coffee.
